This is our first TT and we are looking to get a WDH but not sure what brands are good and what brands are not so good. We are thinking of the Anderson No-Sway WDH but since we will be paying quite a ...

Congrats on your new TT.
First let me say I have never owned one or seen one, that said I have literary read hundreds of posts, blogs, reviews on the Anderson No-Sway and the majority say it works well if your TW is under 500# beyond that 500# it does not perform very well.
The majority of people who bought the Anderson No-Sway also stated that it helped them in lower the TW due to it's lighter than other WDH on the market.
The folks who experienced performance issues, with the Andersen hitch, were those who were expecting 100% weight restoration to the front axle. The Andersen hitch is not as strong as some of the other hitches, in that area. I too, was one of those who was concerned about how much weight it was transferring. I have close to 1000 lbs tongue weight. Between scale weights and measuring, I found that it is transferring enough weight to meet the specifications for my tow vehicle. There are some (Ford is one) newer tow vehicles that do not require 100%, on front axle weight restoration.
The folks with lighter (more like 700 lb) tongue weights don't appear to have issues.
I like the Andersen mostly because it is light weight, it's quiet, and I don't have to coordinate the color of my clothing with the color of grease I'm using on the hitch. There is no grease.
It would be perfect for an SUV, pulling a smaller trailer. If you want to throw it in your back end, you may need to worry about a little road dirt, but, no lubricants to mess up your carpet.
