If you get weight distribution you need to hook up the bars, there is no way around that part. Once you accept that you are going to be hooking up bars regardless, then they all sort of become about the same degree of PITA. Sway control is related to, but separate from weight distribution. All weight distribution hitches use bars, but sway control takes many forms, from friction to cams to linkages like the Hensley and Propride. You need to buy as much as makes you happy there.
If you don't want to do anything other than hook and go, then you just buy a truck with a hitch that has a dead weight load rating higher than your tongue weight, and a trailer than doesn't sway. You never see WD and sway control on equipment float or construction trailers, they just hook and tow with brute force.
