Fruity Chutes looks like a good source for chutes, including ballistic chutes.
Anything from 12" diameter up.

Winch 'chutes need to be VERY robust. I think the best scheme to get cheap winch 'chutes it to obtain an old Tost 'chute and have a parachute rigger make a copy using the Tost as a pattern. I've seen quotes of about $40 where Tost wants about $400. Obviously, you don't need a professional rigger to do this but they will have the heavy sewing machines required.
