synthetic makes winch quite a bit lighter on front bumper,, I likey. no pricked fingers, either.

If synthetic put a cover on it, uv degradation will kill it and if your buying vectran or spectra line it's freaking expensive.

I need an 8k synthetic, if you know where I can "steal" one?

I'd go synthetic, but wash the mud off of it after you use it, and like the other poster said, use a cover. Steel cable is basically no maintenance
Also, one will kill you and the other one will just pop you like a towel
Everyone I know with synthetic uses Amsteel

I liked my Amsteel syn cable. It popped once due to my improper use. Just tied a good knot in it and kept using, try that with steel cable.... UV rays do take their toll in it though....

Only way you go steel is if you are using it on a winch that has already used steel and scratched the drum or you can't afford synthetic.
If you go synthetic, make sure you cover it.
