I would say that eighter hydraulic, or electric, since you probably don't want to get a different transfer case to run the planitary, allot of work, and money. the only problem with the hydraulic is if you love high water and your truck doesn't, then your winch won't be much help for you, but they are very reliable and don't loose power when they get hot like an electric. but if you live in the colder climate, and hook up an extra batt. the electric is a very good and relaiable, probably easier to handle as well, hope this helps77 F-250 said:I am buying a winch and I want to know what would be better. hydraulic,planitary, or electric.
