I just buy marine rope (12t breaking strain), most chandlers will loop and splice it for you. You can select whatever length you need. Fraction of the price of branded recovery gear and just as robust, unless you need kinetic (which is another can-o-worms).

What sort of recover rope do you want? Just a tow rope, or a kinetic rope/strap?
For a tow rope yes marine 3 strand polyester or nylon 24mm diameter minimum. For a kinetic recovery rope/strap lots of companies offering double braid style ropes now days, (the new KERR) Terrafirma seem to have good kit a good prices, Ironman do one also, ARB do straps, but you pay for their name.

For recovery work in the past I've found the kinetic rope very effective.

I have a 14t strap and shackles from Damar Webbing Solutions. (Home Page - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club])
Made in the UK with personal customer support. Would recommend them.
Whatever you get, go way overkill. They generally say to go for a 14t rating for normal 4x4 recovery.
I recently saw a news story about a chap in America who sank his pickup to the axles in mud. Someone tried to snatch him out with a kinetic strap. However, the detachable tow bar on the vehicle pulling him out snapped off, flew back through the windscreen and killed him. A real eye-opener. From now on I'll always double check the hardware involved before attempting a recovery.

A lot to be said for recovery blankets, winching or pulling.
