5th Wheel Hitch

I have been thinking about moving to a heaver rated 5th Wheel Hitch.

We currently have a 16k Husky Hitch in our 3500 GMC DRW pulling our Jayco Pinnacle.
Our Pinnacle weights about 15,400 lbs. loaded with a pin weight of about 3,500 lbs.

The Husky hitch is now 8 years old, been used a lot and still works good but been thinking about moving up to a heaver rated hitch.
Do not want to have a hitch failure on the road as many miles as we tow these days (about 12,000 to 15,000 miles a year)

We may go to a heaver 5er in the future so if I upgrade I want to be covered.

Our 2012 GMC 35000 DRW is 5th Wheel rated at 23,500 lbs.

What Brand / Model 5th Wheel hitches are the best in the 23K to 24K range.
