Go ahead and order the factory fifth wheel prep. It makes installing the hitch so much easier.
Deciding about a fixed hitch vs. a slider depends on the design of the front cap on the trailer. Many 5ers are using fixed hitches and never need the benefits of a slider.
I would suggest buying a really good brand of hitch if you're going to use it often. And each brand will have 3-4 different models--from good to great. The B&W seems to be very popular, however I also like the Curts (cheaper). And the Reeses are also popular, but pretty pricey. There are also other good brands out there.
