I just ordered a 2016 f350 shortbed with the fifthwheel prep so I have been researching hitches. The one you mentioned is not compatible with the ford fifthwheel prep. B&W does have a non sliding fifthwheel hitch that is compatible. As far as sliding hitches go, the Reese elite series 18k slider and the Demco auto slider are the only two. Other than that, you could buy the Reese rail adapter and then drop your sliding hitch of choice onto the base rails.
From what I've read the B&W slider I mentioned fits in the turn over ball location allowing it to fit any gooseneck setup which is also in the fifth wheel prep on the ford and Ram.
