I recommend a WDH with integrated sway control Like Equal-i-zer 4pt, Reese Strait Line, or Blue ox Swaypro, all in the $450-500 range. I would say the EQ is a little easier than the Reese to adjust correctly. I have no experience with the BlueOx to compare.
I have a Blue Ox Swaypro and an Andersen hitch. Both have integrated sway control.
I find the Andersen much cleaner, quieter, and easier to use. It requires no lubrication of any kind. No grease = less dirt.
The Blue Ox requires lube on the ball and internally in the hitch head itself. The internal greasing is done with a grease gun. Grease guns tend to leak and storing them can be a mess.
The Andersen hitch total weight is 60 lbs, including head, chains, and trailer brackets. I can pick up the hitch head and slide it into the truck receiver, with one hand, and stay clean while doing it.
The Blue Ox total weight is 115 lbs, including head, bars, chains, snap up brackets. Deffinately takes two hands (preferably strong ones) to put this one in the receiver. While doing that, my shirt will clean the old grease off the ball.
I would agree that for a smaller trailer like the 22ft in the OP's post, the Anderson might be a good choice.
