Hitch brand

I need a new drop hitch. Going from a 16 f250 to a 19, my current Curt hitch with a 2" drop ain't cutting it.
I would like to go with a dual ball mount and either a 6 or 8" drop..

Ive been looking at the following:

https://www.bulletproofhitches.com/c...ty-8-drop-rise (looks solid. But Ive never heard of this company. They are located about 2.5 hours south of me)
https://www.bwtrailerhitches.com/pro...ble-ball-mount (I could care less about their "stow away".)
https://www.curtmfg.com/part/45902 (looks solid, well known within the towing community)

Thoughts? Any others?

The bullet proof is a very well built hitch and I like mine.

The Bulletproof look good but I do not see any weight distribution capabilities on their site, only sway control.

Gen-y hitch works for me. At the time couldn't find one rated high enough with weight distribution and sway control. The sway control is only 10k but works for what I need for now. It was more important to have the 'drop', which is 15", rated for liability reasons.

When it comes to making the choice on things that I need to be safe, I like to stick with names I know. Everything I have is Curt.
