The same battery also operates the hydraulic jacks and folding neck.  I've been using a group 31 starting battery for the winch.  Should I continue to use a starting battery or move to a deep-cycle battery.

The deep cycle can withstand discharge much lower than the standard 
battery.   Whenever a standard battery is discharged below 10.5 volts 
the life is cut in half.   This info is from a 8 hour battery service 
training course I had to go thru when I was working with remote sensing 
river gauges.
