All good stuff coming at you. As Billr has stated; you can do no better than a Trailersaver hitch in your truck IF it's a pick-up or a 450/550 Ford as an example. Something that needs mentioning is the rating of the hitch itself will not be a concern if you go with the Trailersaver as they are rated for 32,000lb's I believe. Along with this, if you get the Binkly head that comes with the Trailersaver you will have the absolute easiest hook-up/un-hook experience there is to be had. There can be no error in hooking up with the Binkly while some heads will give you the "high pinning" possibilities.
There are many good quality "robust" hitches out there like the Reese Signature series or the PullRite wrap around jaw type but, IMHO, none offer the complete all-round benefit package that the Trailersaver offers unless you move up to a very exotic hitch offered at greater cost (ET Junior for eg:) for some of the larger class 7/8 trucks.
If you are like most of us; budget is of course important but, following the logic that optioning up the coach for all contingencies and then cutting corners on the attachment between the truck and the trailer would in my mind provide you with a "false" savings as you cannot measure the value of the ride you're giving yourself in the truck or the ride you're giving your trailer and it;'s contents.
JMHO.
