Not all DP's ride the same. First off, stay away from the Roadmaster R4R chassis. They have a very harsh ride, even if the after market ride enhancement kit is installed. I speak from experience.

I've never pulled a 5th wheel, so can't compare the rides.
Also keep in mind, the wheel base will have an effect on ride.
Tire pressure will also effect the ride.

Also drive them over some rougher roads so you get an idea of ride.
Test drive, test drive, and test drive.
