New Truck & Need New 5th Wheel Hitch

I've been pulling a 5th wheel since 2003 with my old '02 short bed Chevy Duramax 2500HD. When I traded my '02 in for a new '18 Chevy 2500HD Duramax short bed I left the old 16K Husky Roller/slider hitch with the trade in. Now I'm in the market for a new hitch to put into the new truck.

For those with a similar tow vehicle tell me what hitch you have and why you like it. Also any ballpark prices would be helpful.

I'm not so concerned about another roller hitch since I never used the roller feature. In fact, my '15 CC Silverback has recessed front corners making a roller/slider hitch even further unnecessary anyway.

It would be nice not to have rails in the bed of the truck, but I'm not sure what model hitch would afford me that feature. The new truck doesn't have those factory cutouts in the bed.
