Have a few rings would rather use pulleys personally so you can balance big limbs and crank them around on the lowering device or pretension to avoid shock loading,rarely use the rings, they run nice and smooth but seem a throw back to topping strop days.

 

You legend Matty! That video never gets old. I have to agree with you. If you want any sort of lifting capacity or work with a GRCS/other winch at all, pulleys are a better way to go. If all you do is lowering and never any lifting then the rings are fine. Of course you can lift with the rings, but any friction you add into the system reduces your lifting power.
