Thanks for all the advice!
I had a trailer with cabinets that limited where I could put a winch so just put it on the side and hooked a pulley block to the center tie down and ran the cable thru it. Beats tripping over everything right there in the cabinet area. I personally like the side pulls like this, if you're going with a SuperWinch 3500 there's plenty of power to overcome the small friction loss associated with this arrangement. Just make sure the center tie down fitting is reinforced from below.
