Question for you guys that have installed winches. What did you choose and why. If you have the ARB front bumper, what Fitment issues and mounting brackets were needed?

I'm running a TJM 10,500 on my Tundra. After researching and reading lots of internet hype, I went with the TJM for a few reasons. It's built tough and tested hard in Australia. My opinion is they use them over there a lot more then many of us here. It's significantly cheaper then it's Warn equivalent.
I've done over 50 pulls with it and so far have no complaints. When my father passed, he left me with an estate as seen on American Pickers with over 14 acres of "stuff". Most of it was farm implements and antique tractors with flat tires buried in the dirt and overgrown with weeds. The winch was a god send and assisted my brother and I in pulling the stuff out and setting it up for the auction.
I've been running this on my 4R (in shrockworks bumper) for a couple years. Been very pleased with it and the add on Warn wireless remote. It will likely find its way over to my 200 when it gets kitted up, but for now it will stay in 4R...Going with the 9.5xp-s. Supposed to bolt right in, have do to the box relocate, will see how it all comes together.
I went with a Warn m8000 initially, fits right into the ARB bull bar. I want to upgrade to a 12k in the next few months. The ARB fit guide calls for a m12,000 but I am leaning towards the ZEON 12s. I believe the ZEON will require the relocation bracket.
I mounted mine dead center - no issues with the front sensorsView attachment 1344454
Have you done the upgrade? I am looking to order one for our spring trip but a bit confused as to optionsThat said I am going to upgrade soon to a Warn Zeon 12s - I am pretty sure I will need a relocation bracket for the Zeon
Thank youHaven't bought my bumper yet since I just bought my 2016 LC in October, but I'm planning to get the ARB Summit and Warn Zeon Platinum 10S. 2016 Summit doc here shows additional kits necessary for winches: http://www.arbusa.com/Uploads/PDF/newProductAdvice/2016/200Series_Summit_2016OnPublic.pdf
