Just bought a Jayco Octane 272. Hitch questions.

We have no idea what you are going to put in your TH garage, or how the rest of the trailer will be loaded. You are starting out with a heavy hitch wt to offset your likely load. IMO, you are figuring too high on loaded hitch wt, but for a trailer that size I would use a WDH, with built in sway control. You have a stout truck, and I think the 12K WDH will work.
