No relays required for the winches. 40 Amp (or higher) Bosch relays available at any parts store (or you can snag up a handful at pull-a-part for cheap) will work fine for everything else.

These are the small black cube shaped plug in relays used in almost all newer cars. Just stay away from the Chinese or off brand jobs, stick with the Bosch and they'll last almost forever. The Amp rating is stamped on them.
