Of those two, my vote is for the blue ox tow bar, just for the fact that they include their auto stop braking system. Not having to buy a separate braking system will save you a good $1k or more. And, you'll have a great, very reliable and simple braking system that does not involve any electronics to fail, or anything to have to put in or take out every time you tow.
Or, even better: Skip both of those and get you a Readybrute Elite tow bar from Readybrake, that comes with their Readybrake braking system. Readybrake is very similar to Blue Ox's auto stop braking system, it also is a simple, reliable cable operated brake (no electronics or anything to put in or take out). I kinda like Readybrake's system better, though, as it seems to have less moving parts (things to break) on the towbar. That, and its been around a lot longer and has a long, proven track record.
