Was using my Warn winch yesterday and noticed the cable has a bad spot in so I guess it is time to replace it

First I have never replaced a winch cable before but have watched a few youtube videos and does not look all that hard to do but would not mind any tips

I am looking at replacing with synthetic and from everyone I have talked with they like them much better.

Not really much of a "mudder" any more and my Polaris is used mostly for hutning but there is a couple bad spots/creek crossings where I hunt that I have to use winch from time to time

Any difference in brands or are they all about the same
