Best weight distributing hitch with a sway control

ok, I'm just too lazy to look it up, but I'd like opinions on the best weight distributing hitch that also has sway control. I've never towed with one, but feel that it's time to make that step since we plan to travel with our setup now, and I'd just like the peace of mind.... I welcome all input!

I do have a class V receiver, so something available with a 2.5" shank would be preferred....

  • How heavy is your loaded trailer and how long?
    I've had 4 different ones...

    Basic Equalizer type hitch with friction sway bar. (not my choice, there are better options)

    My favorites:
    Equal-i-zer brand hitch.. good but really noisy
    Reece Dual Cam Strait-line.....excellent, somewhat hard to set up correctly
    Blue Ox SwayPro....excellent.

    Bottom Line: pick either the Reece or Blue Ox.

    Also really good is a Hensley, but super expensive.
