I'm going to say it doesn't really matter. I usually haul what I can, if it's too long or bulky I will tow. Alternativly, for something like a huge log, if it's too heavy to tow (Argo just spins tires), I will use the winch to lift one end so I get more weight on my tires. Sometimes this will allow me to tow in reverse. This is risky though, it puts a lot of stress on things that are not designed for that kind of abuse. Caution is advised.

I can agree with RC,I just recently pulled out my 80´Chevy K15,who was stuck after braking trough the ice over a not visible ditch witch swallowed my front left tire,leaving the rest spin nicely but useless.My Argo made an easy job out of it and even though I had to pull in reverse (to have the pulling push down on my front so I had grip).After all:Argos aren´t toy´s but work horses and ODG never said different (OK,the Tec series of the eighties may be a little different,but my I/C is definitely a pure bred work horse).
