The #1 brand of winch is Warn, most of their winches are US made, only their entry level winches like the VR line are imported. Warn's M8000 is a very good lower-cost Warn that would hold its value should you ever decide to sell it. Warn will always be able to provide parts for their winches, not so the other brands.
I dunno who's in second-place because most of the others are all made in China. The two brands I would definitely not go with are those from Harbor Freight Tools and Smittybilt aka Shittybilt.
