3/4", still has a 20,000# winch on it, it would snap 5/8 like shoe strings, went through 100' of it in like 3 weeks... the 3/4 is heavy but its holding up well, loose a little on the end every couple of months, but no big deal.

yep, 3/4 lasts longer in big wood........new 5/8 is fine but it gets a little old and worry ya to death.
