OK, this may be putting the cart before the horse BUT, IMHO go look and find a 5th wheel that suits your needs, be open consider many things but in the end it will be what meets your needs. Then go buy a TV that will adqeatley tow your rig! Depending on what 5vr you purchase you may be ok without a slider. Although I do not believe a slider is much more expensive than a standard hitch.
I went for a Superglide Auto slider, I do not have to think about wheather I need to slide or not to slide it takes care of itself! I agree the short bed is much eaiser to park and maneuver with or without the 5vr attached! Good luck!
