Electric Brake Advice

I am currently in the market for an 18-22' travel trailer, the trailers I've looked at all had electric brakes. I'll be pulling it with a 1997 Expy 5.4 EB with towing package. Any recommendations or advice on what electric brake control units are better than others, is inertia controled over time sensitive units better. I would probably do a DIY installation so any recommendations for a plug and play unit.
Thanks in advance

The Tekonsha Prodigy is an excellent controller.

Go with the Prodigy. RVwholesalers has it for $99. They have a harness that will plug directly into your truck. The plug is located under the dash to the right of the steering column. It is clipped into place to the frame of the underside of the dash.
