The hitch will tell you how much tongue weight is acceptable without a WDH. You'll need to know your tongue weight. If the hitch will handle it without the WDH I wouldn't bother using it. If you do need it to meet the rating and already have it then I use it.
If you were starting from scratch and had to buy a hitch I would just upgrade the hitch on the truck so you didn't need the WDH instead of buying the WDH hitch.
A 2500 truck will probably ride better with most of the weight on the rear to soften the ride.
I've got a dually, I often tow an equipment trailer that can weigh up to 16,000 pounds depending on what I'm hauling. I never use a WDH. I upgraded the one on the truck to a Super Hitch that can handle 1,700 pounds of tongue weight. It tows fine. I wouldn't want to have to heft the WDH and bars around, hook and un hook, and listen to it creek and groan on corners if I didn't have too.
