I'm looking to get synthetic rope for my winch instead of the wire cable, wondering if anyone ordered any online and and their opinions on what kind or brand? Thanks.

I ordered a cheap one from Amazon. It worked perfect. 50' of 1/4" for $25-$30. I can't remember which one I ordered.

I ordered a cheapie off Ebay for I think $22 prepaid from a guy in Colorado Springs. Had the loop and crimp already on the ends and ready to go. You will find some of them with the crimp on for the spool end are to big for the hole in the spool. At least that has been my experience with two of them. He offers different colors so you can match the P5. :)

I used Amazon and ordered some, very strong stuff. I did break it but is really easy to repair, number of YouTube online fix edits that show you how. So much friendlier to use than wire cable in most instances. When it breaks the energy disperses very quickly and therefor makes I a safer line to use I think, especially if you hang something over the line when winching.
