What do you guys think about this Northern Industrial winch?

I'm looking into this winch because it's got a 9,000 lb rating, good reviews, a great price and free shipping.
Would this be a good buy or should I save up a little more for a Warn/Smittybilt/Superwinch/Mile Marker?
I have found myself in the position to need a winch, but I'd like a decent one just in case.
Thanks!

Smittybuilt

I agree, Smittybuilt would be better in the long run. Better name and reputation.

I got my Mile Marker from Costco.com for $390 shipped to my door. They also sent a nice little note that stated if I break it, just bring it to my local Costco for a full refund!

So far, I haven't broken the darn thing....
