There is no way I could do the removable/hitch mounted deal. I'd never have it when I needed it. I'd go behind the bumper.
There is no reason you have to take it off if you don't want to.It' is only more versatile.Front mount behind the bumper and you lose the capability to pull from the back.

Not really, just not as easy. They make a roller that mounts below the winch, and the cable will then pass below the vehicle to hook on to something behind. There are drawbacks of course, the effort will get you dirty. The cable is shorter, and the roller is lower and cuts down on your ground clearance. The synthetic rope and cable are the same strength, and interchangeable, but the cable is heavier, and has more weight involved if the cable ever breaks. The rope has much less abrasion resistance, and higher cost.
I will stick with cable, as I can cut and fit it myself, and at a discount.
