I am not a fan of the add on sway bar. Many use them and they do the job but it is just one more piece of equipment that I would rather not deal with.
If you haven't got a hitch yet, consider one with built in sway control. I hook mine up and I am done. Nothing extra to add on and I know it is always there. My brother uses the add on sway bar. I asked him, "how do you know how hard you should crank it down, and how often do you have to remove it before backing up?" He told me that he removes it when backing up involves any tight turns. He cranks it down based on "whether or not I will need more friction". How would you know? He sometimes leaves it off saying that he won't need it on this trip. What? Again, too many extra things to think about.
I do exactly the same thing your brother does. It's not a big deal, and if it helps to minimize sway and make for a safer trip, I'm all for it.
