I definely need my trucks bed empty for stuff. Having to deal with loading /unloading a really heavy 5th wheel hitch onto the bed was a issue for me.

Got it! And I understand your questions about that now. Here's my advice - just me, but based on being a happy Andersen Ultimate (the lightweight one) user ... go with the Andersen. I am VERY happy with it.
For further info, my old truck had the standard 5th wheel rail mount hitch. When I traded to a newer truck, it already had the gooseneck ball in the bed. I took a chance on the Andersen and love everything about it. It's just slightly harder to hook up (for me) than the 5er (I can't quite judge how far back I am when trying to get EXACTLY (my obsessive compulsive behavior) centered fore and aft over the ball before lowering, so I get out and check a couple of times while hooking up. I may rig up some tattle tail wire or flag or something to tell me when I'm backed up far enough.
Another (slight) con on the Andersen over the standard 5th wheel, you have to raise your trailer higher to hitch and unhitch on the Andersen.
For me, having a completely flat truck bed when not towing was the deal clincher. That's why I switched to Andersen.
