Brake Buddy "Stealth " toad brake

I need a brake system for my toad and have a short list of US Gear VIP tow brake,SMI 'Stay-in-Play Duo, and Brake Buddy 'Stealth'.
I'm leaning toward the Brake Buddy system, but would appreciate any comments - good or bad - about any or all of the three systems I am considering.
Thanks for the Brake Buddy testimonials, but I am really interested in the new " Stealth " system. Does anyone have any experience with it or the other permanently installed systems I mentioned ?
Thanks,
John

    I like my RVi Brake system, much smaller than brake buddy and works the same.

    I think you mean Ready Brake. That kind of "ready break" will never find what you want on google.

    My Brake Buddy is at least 17 years old and still works like a charm. I bought it with a new 1997 rig.
