    When I fit my winch I will connect power to the main battery and earth to the body or chassis somewhere. The alternator will provide more current than the circuit breaker and cables to my aux battery can withstand so by using the main battery, it wont be discharged so much during winching if the engine revs are kept up a little.

    Mine's wired to the main battery and earthed to the "stud" ... works a treat.
    cheers
