My personal preference, and again, is my opinion, is to avoid them like the plague,
lot of places don't accept them now too
just get a decent rope and shackles, much safer in my book

They do work and they are very impressive when they work but when they go wrong they can be fatal.
Don't need them for a Suzuki

I would be only using it to get other people out
hate having to tug at other peoples pride and joy
don't mind breaking mine
also doesn't help that my 1.3 is gutless!!
anybody got any links of what they have bought?
how much would a good one be?

If used correctly and with suitable recovery points, I.e. not the eye on the front of an SJ and with rated shackles then they are awesome bits of recovery gear. A gentle tug with a kerr is better than a tow with a normal rope.
