I know of two people who have Runva's fitted and have no issues with them. Either would do the job, the 11XP would do it a little easier though. I don't think there's too much difference in weight as most of the Runva's weigh in at around the 30kg mark.

Best bit of advice I can give is, whichever you purchase, strip it down and put some decent grease in. I think there was a thread or two about it in the recovery section, in regards to Aldi winches.

The guideline for winch rating is around 2 - 2.5 times the weight of the vehicle that you need to winch, or what you will be winching. This is to have extra capacity to pull uphills, through mud, etc.

9500lb is closse enough to 4.3 tonne, your 90 would be about 2 tonne.

I once had to winch a Nissan out of a river, can never be to big... you might not be recovering your vehicle...

Also worth considering that in some recovery situations (terrain & degree/extent etc. that you are bogged) you are effectively pulling considerably more than the 2 tonne. And that 2 tonne would be an unladen 90/110, more likely closer to 3 or 3.5 tonne just for the vehicle and contents.
I'd go for the higher capacity winch and therefore (hopefully) you won't be extending it to it's limits too much.

Looks like you had a bit of an audience

I bought a Runva from Mulgo, it's not fitted yet I have to wait for Daniel to get back from holidays.

I went for the 11 ✅

Quite, they had got it this far with a 500kg hand winch...
