The idea of a portable winch makes a lot more sense to me. Having a winch solely fixed to the front makes it's usefulness in day-to-day self recovery very limited.
That Goodwinch one also looks a good option, nice how they've given it the attachment for the towbar. Guess that being a 4000lb winch means that the forces aren't enough to make the towbar pull dangerous. Although it probably depends more on the quality of the towbar than anything else.
It's aggressive snatching on low rated tow balls that cause issues. But they can easily handle the forces generated by a winch. If they are good enough for 500hp SUVs rated to tow 3.5 tons then I think a 4000lb winch will be fine.
