The 2nd one you posted should be fine. Harbor Freight has a cheaper one, too. I would go with a WDH before a straight ball. Especially if driving a long distance. Your life and others on the road is well worth the $200.

But, if you go with a straight ball, get the ball as close to the van as possible, and use a riser hitch, like this one which is 2 3/4 inches of rise OR this one, which is a 4 inch rise.
