I liked the Jordan, with it's mechanical cable connection to the brake pedal arm, which varies the trailer brake modulation, depending on how far you're pushing on the truck's brake pedal. Very little can go wrong with it and it works great. Too bad they don't make them anymore. It's also very easy to install, no more difficult than installing an all electronic one.
The Jordan was a rather good controller, but was not quite as accurate as one that uses a pressure sensor. By using the hydraulic pressure as a reference, the controller can output a precise amount. For example: twice the pressure can be twice the current to the trailer brakes. The Jordan would follow foot movement and twice the distance usually doesn't mean exactly twice the braking is needed.
Now look at the current crop that doesn't use direct input from the driver. If hard braking is needed and the truck has little traction, the trailer will not help with the braking. There are many situations where the driver isn't controlling the brakes but there is no point getting into it, only Mickey Mouse products are currently available.
