Heavy Duty is definitely important. Get one of those cheap come alongs and the damn lever bends sidewise..... You'll be speaking in tongues!

One of the best and cheapest tools you can use to get unstuck is a high lift jack. When stuck in mud or sand i simply jack up one end of the vehicle as far as I can and then push the whole thing over. Do the same at the other end and your are out of the ruts. It also can be used as a come along / hand winch when equipted with hooks at the ends.
Nothing is more usefull IMO... That and, a few straps and a few feet of chain, D-Rings, Shackles. The bumper hook is the best too but, you have to hook it under where the bumper bracket holds the bumper to the frame or else it'll pull the bumper up and tweak it out!
Good luck!
