Distribution hitches ??????

looking for some opinions about weight distribution hitches.... Bought a used TT, 2004 28foot loaded tops 5000lbs... Have a 2012 ram 1500 short bed, hemi. When i bought it the guy gave me to distribution hitches for it..

1st one is one of those chain type distribution hitches like like pictured here.... IT IS NOT THIS HITCH, JUST THIS STYLE WITH THE CHAINS.

chain type


2nd, is a equalizer type hitch where u have the square bars that connect to the trailer as in the 2nd picture...THIS IS NOT THE HITCH I HAVE JUST SHOWING THE STYLE I AM TALKING ABOUT...

square type distribution


So my question is which one of the hitches is better to use for my set up as listed above? Any opinion as to what might be the better type of hitch between the two???? What is your preference? any opinions would be helpful
thanks.
