There are a lot of fanatics about hitches around here, but the truth is they all work, and they are all safe. There are different features on some. Things you need to consider for your own needs include the following.
4 way tilting. You really want this. I'm not aware of any currently offered that don't do this, but lots of used ones out there that people want to ditch.
Slider mount or non-slider. And if sliding, manual or automatic.
Bed mounted rails, or under bed mounting. Basically comes down to how important a flat bed is to you when the hitch is removed.
Ease of hitch removal. More important if you plan to use the truck a lot for non-towing jobs. Pay attention to the weight, and whether it is easily separated into easier to handle pieces. Tools or no tools for example.
Interchange with a gooseneck ball. Only important if you have other trailers that are gooseneck.
Type of jaw. Choices are sliding bar, clamshell jaws, or wrap-around jaw. Do your own research on advantages to each.
Ease of locking the hitch to your truck, and the hitch to your trailer, if theft or malice is a concern to you.
Cost versus value.
Rated capacity. Make sure it is rated for equal or more than the weight of your trailer.
Ease of installation, particularly if you are a DIY guy.
