This is like asking what truck is the best.
Now I have only had 3 different hitches. A cheap round bar a pro serious and a Anderson no sway. Out of the 3 I like the Anderson the best, now it by no means perfect, but it is close.
The pros about the Anderson is that it is real easy to set up. Just set the ball height and attached the brackets and adjust the change the move the amount of weight you need moved.
The cons.
People have reported that with real heavy trailers they can't get them to move enough weight
Not compatible with some trailer hitches
Also you should carry and extra nylon spring bushing, cause if you break one the sway control and weight distributing part of the hitch can't be used.
It's not perfect but I like it. I towed my jayco 26bh with my F250 out of of the Outer Banks last year a day of two before the hurricane came ashore and it was Rock Solid.
I like my Anderson No Sway as well but I think my 28' toy hauler loaded down with toys and liquid is probably about max for the system, somewhere around 10,000 pounds behind a Ram 2500 pickup. I tend to not recommend this hitch if I'm asked about it because it seems that people are wanting to tow big trailers with marginal tow vehicles and I just don't think this is the hitch for that.
I can run 70+ with the tractor trailers up and down hills and have no problems, even bucked some stiff WY crosswinds on I80 and the trail just rides along smooth a silk. But then again I never had a problem towing 34 foot camp trailers with the old round bar with chains equalizer hitch or no equalizer hitch what so ever.
