Everyone tows with what they are comfortable with. Just make sure it's set up right and you know how to use it safely. Last week the campground host asked me to help a guy hitch up his trailer cause he'd been trying for an hour and couldn't get it hitched. 30 seconds later, after opening the coupler and moving the truck 2 inches forward, he was hooked up. Then I saw him uncross his chains and put a coupler lock through the 2 chains to keep them together.... No lock on the coupler..... He was headed cross country.
If you're uncomfortable with your current setup, I'd highly recommend trying the HA but it too needs to be set up and dialed in correctly.
