ARB gear is good but pricey.
Most recovery gear is tested to standards, so stick with name brand.
Check some 4wd shops, and if in doubt go a bit heavier in rating rather than 'just enough'

The standard rule with snatch straps :- the strap should be rated 2 & 1/4 x the weight of what you are recovering.
eg:- GU Patrol = 2 & 3/4 tonne ish so a min of 7 tonne strap.
# GU 2-3/4 tonne + camper 1-1/4 tonne, a min of 9 tonne strap
