Broken rear window - looking at auto slider hitch options

I read all these posts that state you don't need a slider with the "new design" on the front end of the rigs! Then every now and then we get a post like yours where the TV and rig get caught kissing! I spent a little extra and got the Pullrite auto slide, IMHO a manuel slider is a receipt for disaster, since most of the time it is not used, the one time you need to use it you will end up with damage! To me 10 years of backing, and only one time that requires a slider is well worth the expense!
