With regards to the TV, Dish or Direct are pretty close in what they provide and cost. You'll need to review the packages and determine which provides the channels and packages you might like better. One down check for Direct, with a low cost dome based antenna you can not receive HD channels. You'll need either something along the line of a Winegarde Trav'ler or a manual aim dish. With the "Dish For My RV' program you are restricted to a specific receiver but can pick an antenna.
Toad brakes, always get something, especially a break away system. The coach you have may have enough excessing braking capacity but think of it this way. If you could add 3K to 4K pounds of weight to a coach and not increase the stopping distance that would be a good thing, right? Total failure of a base plate, tow bar, or hitch is pretty rare but does happen. A break away system can also be the least expensive component of the setup.
I'm partial to Honda's. A bit like a late 1960's VW. They just keep going and going and going. Drove and towed 98 Accord coupe into the ground at 250,000 miles. Working on a 2005 CRV these days. 130,000 miles and the only shop time was to replace the recalled airbag.
