I highly, highly recommend the Readybrake.
You just can't beat it - Tow bar and brake system all integrated in one package, for about the same price as you'd pay for a tow bar alone from Blue Ox or others (saves over $1000 right there, from what you'd pay having to buy a separate braking system).
And, you get what is arguably about as good as it gets for a braking system - no electronics to fail and burn up your brakes, nothing to drain toad battery. Nothing to have to put in or take out every time. Very simple, straightforward one time installation (nothing but a cable going from brake pedal to front of toad).
If you don't have a tow bar yet and are buying all that now, IMO it really is a no-brainer - get the ReadyBrute Elite tow bar I linked to above, that comes with the Readybrake system. No point in spending $1000 more just for something more complicated, that has more potential to fail and do damage.
