Default Winch cable rating

I'm thinking of replacing the steel cable on my electric winch. It is getting rusty and I dont want it to break while loading the V. It looks like 3/16 steel cable on it now. I saw some 3/16in. stainless steel cable at Lowes thats rated at 840 lbs and 1/4in thats rated at 1200 lbs and I'm wondering what do you guys use on yours? The 1/4 in. looks too big!
