I don't know why some have rollers and some don't. I have wire rope in the Warn.

I really has to do with cost. Unless a winch is used a lot and in the same position the fixed rollers work fine especially for the occasional use. On a heavy duty winch they are nearly always found except on a wrecker where the sheeves do the rotating. So the application has much to do with it.
