JohnieL,
While you have many choices there are some that you can eliminate. Get a motorhome mounted tow bar so you can just leave it on the rig. Get an adjustable towbar that is easy to disconnect like the Roadmaster All Terrain. Towbars can/do bind easily and can be difficult to unhook.
Do not get a box or removable cylinder type brake. Rather get one that is permanetly installed. Since you have a new car I would get one that is minimum invasive so as to avoid any possible warranty conflicts.
The above is based on your requirements at least as I understand them.
I bought a box brake and it gets to be a pain to install and remove every time so I won't do that again. I also bought a binding type tow bar and is is frequently a pain.
Doing it over I would likely get a All Terrain type tow bar. I would not get any brake unit that taps into the rigs brakes in any way although many like these units.
