Best hitch (non-slider)

I have been using the Superglide for about 10 yrs and have lost touch with the non-sliders. I am going to a long bed dually and would like to install the best hitch available. Any suggestions?
  • B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck w/ Companion hitch. Expensive, but I love it.

    (Of course, I have nothing to compare it to as it's my first hitch.)
  • I like my Reese Elite 18k. It is a slider, but I don't need it with my current trailer. Thought it's a good thing to have, just in case I pulled something else. Slider, aside, it seems to be a good hitch, easy to use, safety features and appears durable.

    I also thought it was a good idea to get the undermount bed rails in case I wanted to remove the hitch and put something in my truck. Since the thing is so heavy, I think that may have been wishful thinking.
  • We purchased a new fiver in December which will require the purchase of a one ton truck. Our new hitch of choice will be a B&W.
