The B&W Companion is a highly regarded hitch on these forums as is the Andersen. I don't see that you would go wrong with either one. I went with the Andersen Rail Mount (I had rails from the previous hitch) for the following reasons:

No bumping into your grease covered kingpin :)
Easy to raise and lower the ball for height corrections
Kingpin coupler can be rotated to move the trailer forward or backward
Hitch can be rotated if the ball needs to be moved front to back

And last but not least, the rail mount version I have weighs 41 pounds. I can carry it with one hand.
