I have not used a hensley or a PP. That said, I have not felt the need to. Close to 50K miles towing two different trailers ( this TT and my horse trailer ) with the blue ox has worked well for me.
Why change when what I have works ? In 50K miles, I've driven in just about everything you can imagine. I make the trip across Kansas multiple times a year between home and the family farm. Kansas usually has wind out of the south or SW or north or NW. In other words, most trips I have cross winds. They are no problem for my setup.
If I felt the need for a PP I would not hesitate to spend the money.
EDIT: all that said, I have read of some folks who simply could not get a good towing trailer with anything but a hensley or a propride. Several folks over on the airforms ( Airstream ) had much difficulty getting their trailer to tow safely until they went to a HAHA or PP.
So it could come down to that. You may "need" one of those hitches to make it work.
