What I have noticed is that as my TTs have gotten heavier over the years, is that grease becomes more necessary. A 14K ball isn't all that cheap, so I grease it. I use wheel bearing grease and a disposable rubber glove. Works well.
You are right, the heavy duty balls aren't cheap. Ruining a welded on coupler is even more expensive. Heavy loads without grease will gall the ball and the coupler. I use Reese grease, but I'm sure there are many other grease alternatives that will work fine.
