Trailer hitch for fifth wheel

We've received conflicting information as sto whether or not we should have a slider hitch for our Brookstone fifth wheel. Please give us your thoughts.
We have an F350 crew cab short bed (6 3/4 ft bed)and a Coachman Brookstone 325 RL fifth wheel.

My 02 D'max 4x4 2500 will NOT hit my truck going forward, and I have a very square front FW. ALL will hit in reverse; some faster than others. That being said, if you have 2wd you will likely have a shorter turning radius, so the FW you choose can have a big effect. You'll read plenty of posts from guys who went for a slider then never used it; others who use them all the time. My recommendation for a hitch of any sort, is the B&W Companion; stabdard or slider.
