What is the best weight distribution hitch?

Money aside, what is the best anti-sway weight distribution hitch for a travel trailer with a 7500 lb GVWR?

I know that there are lots of WDHs out there in all price ranges and they all claim to be the best, so its very confusing. I was wondering what you all think is the best and why. Is it worth spending $3000 for hitch?

Hensley is my choice. About 10 years ago I paid about $2400 for a factory reconditioned Hensley. Used it for six years and sold it for $1700. Net cost $700. Slightly more than a typical hitch setup. Worth every penny.

Hensley Arrow or ProPide. All others are an accident waiting to happen.
Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

The proper hitch makes for a good towing experience. That said I can't justify 3K for a hitch. I have a 14K/1400lb Equal-izer brand hitch that does great for my 10Kgvwr trailer. I had to upgrade from a 10K/1000lb Equal-izer brand and it changed the experience greatly, enough to make it less stressful. What ever you get make sure its rated over the actual tongue/pin weight of the trailer assuming you have enough truck for the trailer. A hitch will not make an overloaded truck pull any better.
