Been researching TT vs class C. For the sake of argument lets assume if I buy a trailer I will install an EQUALIZER 4 point hitch. Lets further assume that as I drive across America I will want to u...

If you go for a WDH with spring bars (as opposed to the Anderson with chains), I'd suggest using trunnion bars rather than L-shaped round bars. Have had both and the trunnion bars are easier to handle and to store.
Choosing a WDH will depend partly on the weight of a TT and it's tongue weight. If you're planning on doing lots of long distance towing, I'd recommend paying close attention to minimizing/eliminating sway and optimizing handling, esp. for twisty roads at speed (max 65 mph for most ST tires). The Equal-i-zer 4 pt. WDH would be a good choice. Don't let a dealer do it, learn how to do it correctly yourself. Other things include upgrading to HD shocks in the tow vehicle, adding shocks to the TT, upgrading to the next higher load range in TT ST tires. Then ensure you have the right pressure in all tires and have the WDH properly set up and fine-tuned. There are better choices in tow vehicles too.
If you do all the right things, towing will be a fun stress-free experience and never a struggle. Get it wrong and it could be lots of white knuckle towing.
There's also the ProPride and Hensely WDHs that totally eliminate sway but don't know how they are for hooking up and unhooking plus they're expensive. They're also heavier.
