Truth is, on the bandit winch I used the slot pushes the chafe sleeve towards the thimble and bunches it all up and it gets ruined. We just cut ours off when we put a new line on the second time.
I think that using the line itself is easiest, but it definitely wears em harder. We went through 1 per year per winch in the two seasons I was at big green.
I have seen some setups with the chain on the end. I like that idea. Using a choker works well too. An old climbing line will make a few dozens slings for nothing.
Cory, Amsteel is the best choice. No comparison. It might be less durable but its more friendly, as strong, easier to use, and safer among other things.

Brendon you are gonna love having a winch! If you are interested there a couple vids on my channel that show us doing some nonconventional winch work.
