While you are comfortable with hooking up a gooseneck, an elevated hitch like any standard fifth wheel hitch or the Andersen makes it just so much easier. Until you try a standard hitch you won't really know the difference. Also, extra articulation with a ball hookup only works when you have plenty of clearance between the truck box and the underside of the trailer. Typically clearance is less with a fiver than a GN trailer, that is why fifth wheel hitches have limited side pivot. Better to stress truck and trailer suspension and frame than repair body damage to both.
But the warranty issue is a real consideration, so you should also consider the B&W Companion hitch.
