my advice would be that if your budget cant stretch to a 9500lbs Warn then get a Superwinch EP9 or 9i - my preference would be for the 9 due to the solenoid setup being remote.
I have a warn 9.5ti which has been good overall given the abuse it has recieived, from the motor filling with mud and giving up and the solenoids when they were on the 'bridge' of the winch- but i have modified it to move the solenoids to under the bonnet + in cab hard wired controls...... much more civilised now!

Superwinch is a good choice on a budget (although it's not what I've got).
As it's going on a Series and you are not likely to use it that much and by the sounds of it only for recovery of yourself or others, a budget model like the Champion might be a better bet.
I've had two and never had any problems. Bit slow but powerful and ull for ever (with the right set up). Parts are becoming less of a problem with a dedicated UK importer if something breaks.
Try a 9000lbs as a 10000lbs might be overdoing slightly for your application. For under £300 (and some rope on its own can cost nearly that) you can't go wrong IMHO.
