Changing Tow Vehicles EDIT: Change Made

So based on our experience over the last trip, I have decided to upgrade my truck to a DRW. I have a couple of questions:

First, I added air bags to my F250 after the first time towing my Voltage due to the rear end sag. Will I need these on the F350 DRW. I'm wondering if I should have them removed before trading in the truck. Will they be needed if I upgrade to a larger trailer in the future?

Second, I have the B&W companion hitch with turnover ball in my current truck. Should I have this removed and installed in the new truck or use the factory 5th wheel option with a new hitch? Either way, I would have it removed so I could attempt to sell the hitch if I didn't use it on the new truck. I'm looking for opinions on the Ford factory 5th wheel set-up to assist in the decision.
