I suggest an electric winch...your OEM alternator should be fine.... as long as the alternator and battery are in good condition.
The winch draws a lot of current while using it....Maybe consider a dual battery setup later.
I also recommend using synthetic winch line for safety reasons also to save weight...
BTW: I didn't see anything in your sig....how do you plan on mounting the winch???? Do you have a winch bumper planned....
