first, there's only one Equal-i-zer and it's a brand name of a WDH.
what you're asking about is a WDH or Weight Distributing Hitch.
some WDH's, like the Equal-i-zer, have integrated sway control.
other WDH's, especially the old style chain link ones, require one or two friction anti-sway bars added. these usually require unhooking the bars before backing up, while others like the Equal-i-zer, don't require this.
love my Equal-i-zer and wouldn't recommend the Anderson for a big heavier trailer, based on reviews that i've read.
