With all due respect to Rich, I don't think you need the 50s. I sail on a Benne 39 with Lewmar 30s! They are the best thing on the boat. Epoxy the holes, and if necessary, get a piece of teak or starboard and cut it in a circle to go under the winch to cover the space occupied by the prior winch.

I have never heard anyone complain that their winches were too big. One trick to fill the old holes is to tape off the bottoms, then drip enough 5-minute epoxy in to cover the bottom of the hole. This kicks off very quickly and seals the hole so the later slow-cure epoxies don't drip through. On

Yes, Lewmar covers that in their Technical Guide.  On their table they mention that if you have fractional rig you should go with the square area of the sail. For masthead rig they recommend to match with the length of the boat. For  a EVO ST40 used for genoa sheets here is what they recommend:
