Most of the TMO members who are using a WDH will have experience with only one type - the one they use. I have only used an Eaz-Lift 1000# round bar. I have installed an Equalizer Anti Sway hitch on my 2003 tm when I sold it. If it was me, I think I would go with the round bar 67509 hitch.

The Reese hitches you are looking at are probably lighter because of the hollow shank that goes into the receiver. Most other hitches use a solid shank.

I guess that the round bar Reese is lighter because the spring bars are bent instead of having a large trunnion bracket on the end.

Ease of adjustment should not be a factor. Once you have the hitch adjusted for your tow vehicle and trailer, you don't need to change it. If you are towing more than one trailer with this hitch, then this might be a concern.

The round bars may cause more mess due to the need for grease on the bent hitch end. I can't comment on grease or other lubrication on the trunnion bars.
