Reese DC is a great hitch with plenty of support here and other sites for setup. I have never owned one but I have read plenty of stories on how tricky they can be to setup correctly. Once done so they are among the best out there and really work well.
For me, I wanted simple and went with the Blue Ox. Its still a very new redesign but it worked very well with my setup down in my signature line. Setup is minimal and I did it all with simple tools in about an hour and that was taking my time (and it was also around 95* outside so I was sweating like crazy). Only part you may run into an issue is getting the hitch ball on. It requires a big 1-7/8 socket and a lot of torque. I know most just take the ball and head to a local shop (almost any mechanic type place) to get them to put it on. Other than that the only adjustment is how many links you want to pull on the bars - thats it!
In reality, any of the big name hitches will suit you well - Reese, Eqaul-i-zer, Blue Ox, etc. Pick one that looks good to you, read the instructions to see how comfortable you are with using it and go for it.
