So, just to clarify, if for example, if I have a 2005 Silverado 2500 and I install the Reese Elite under-bed rails I will be able to use the OEM Companion hitch from B&W. Is that correct?

I would strongly recommend you contact B&W directly they are really nice people to talk to and they will give you the facts.
I did as you suggested this morning. B&W advised me that they have not explicitly tested be OEM companion hitch with the Reese elite under bed system. they advised me that they have had customers report back that they have successfully married the two systems. However some customers reported that minor filing of the cams was required for the hitch to fit into the pucks.
That tells me that it is not a guaranteed drop in fit. And the best suggestion for ease-of-use for someone with a Reese elite underbed system is to use the Reese elite fifth wheel hitch.
Thanks,
