The only winches that I found to fit were from Warn, those being the M8000 and VR EVO 8/10/12. The zeon might fit but I am not 100% sure on that. I bought a VR EVO 10s Gen 3 and it will fit great. The clutch lever has room to rotate even though it will be an awkward reach through the front.

I too have the open wing hybrid and I'm using a Smittybilt XRC Gen 3 which
BARELY fits, but fit it does. I had to clock the engagement lever backwards one "position" but if one was to perhaps use a much smaller lever as opposed to the super bulky one that it comes with I imagine you could get away with keeping it clocked as it comes. Having it backwards isn't bad whatsoever, and I can actually see how it might be easier to reach this way
That being said, I believe the 3rd gen XRC is one of the smallest winches SB makes and it fits with practically ZERO room to spare in any direction; at most I'm talking a centimeter or two on all sides. In my research I read a couple posts+talked to an individual that all claimed to use an X20 (which is slightly larger than my XRC) and they assured it would fit, but I just don't see how that is
