I don't think anyone doubts the strength of the trailer hitch as a good recovery point. It just KILLS the departure angle. I've been on the trail and been told on several occasions that the only things I had touching the ground were my two front tires and the trailer hitch. The bottom of the hitch has the scrapes to prove this. If you don't mind doing a little trenching when you four-wheel, the hitch does a great job for recovery Additionally, its free or cheap for most people, and useful if you have something to tow.
