Don't really know which is best, but I have tekonsha. It does plug in there (not the plug below the steering wheel it is to the right of that one). If I remember correctly the wiring color is a little different, but it is not hard. You definitely want one that adjusts easily if u pull different trailers from time to time.

I also have Tekonsha P2... It works great for pulling my 5th wheel (18,000 lbs dry) and also for my little 16ft flatbed trailer. I agree you should be looking for one that easily switches the gains. Tekonsha now has the P3 and the Primus iQ... not sure if they are better than the P2 for your applications. Good luck with your purchase.

I have a Teknosha P3. Used to have a Drraw tite controller and a Reese tow power. The P3 is really nice and allows also to see brake voltage, current, vehicle voltage and stoplight voltage. It also tells if there is a fault. Nice to see and a decent price.

I bought the p3 last week and I love it so far. Love the troubleshooting ability. Like today when it said Warning! NO BRAKES! output line short. Ended up finding a wire came unconnected in my 7 way plug. It's already worth it.
I got it on sale at adventurerv.net for 115 bucks!

Prodigy P3 here. Love how smooth it is. Easily set, Easy to set on the fly and the options it has. Got it for $100 off of ebay. Got the plug and play wire harness from the local RV dealer. $20/$30.
