I still stand by a tirfor even for solo use ,
you can pull from any angle , you can still snach block it if needed to change angles,
yes thay are hard work but time wouldnt matter if your were putting your motor back on its Michlin XSs after a roll , this would take some well funky snach block skills with a front mounted electric winch especialy on your own  .
If you were stuck in the desert needing a anchour point you would find one time wouldnt matter .
Tirfors Cheap , never seem to brake unlike electric winches that are on the front of your auto in all conditions, very controled ,
Having said all that I have a Hydraulic PTO driven winch on my G 
but i would still carry a Tirfor .
If you go for a cheap electric winch look at the "come up " range well used and abused in the UK trail area .
