Some are rather noisy, like our UltraFab. There is a fairly quiet one but can't remember the brand (Husky maybe?). Weight capacity isn't usually a concern as tongue weight is approx. in the 500 - 1200 lb range. Would be nice if our jack was faster but I don't know if any are. The UltraFab head is fairly compact.
The switches on the Atwood don't look very waterproof. We use a hood on ours and never take it off. Keeps the water off and it still looks like new after 2 years of use.
I can't remember the brand that came on our TT we bought brand new, but it failed within a few days and got replaced by the UltraFab. That'd be one I'd avoid whatever it was.
I'm starting to think maybe get a fastflip to make the quick up/down faster and stick with the manual.
