Hey Nathan! For a winch something like the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch # BDW10040 you were looking at is a good choice. This will be able to handle pretty much any vehicle you want to load on the trailer with relative ease. As far as the mounting goes, it depends on your exact trailer setup. Looks like there are quite a few variations of that trailer.
If you have some kind of rail (like in the attached picture) that is capable of supporting the weight you could bolt or weld it on there. Mounting it to the floor probably isn't a good option but it is an option. Realistically it would probably be best to have some kind of mount fabricated and then installed on the trailer so the winch is in the best position for loading and unloading cars on the trailer.
