What about Quadratec's Q-series line? I've got a Q11000, seems to work good. Prices are inline with the HF and Smittyilts...
Well I’ll be....15,500 smittybuilt is about $700 at Summit Racing.

The usperwinch tigershark no load line speed seems extremely slow. Painfully slow. I like the gear reduction a lot though.
Sorry, didn't realize you were looking for something that big and for the tow rig, thought it was the Jeep you were equipping; also, I rechecked and the Qtechs max at 12K.
Glad you found something to work.
