Brake controller for 98 F150

Noticed that my 98 F150 Off Road came prewired for a brake controller and I'm thinking of purchasing a tandem trailer w/electric brakes.
What brand of brake controller would be the best fit and work the best?

Thanks

I've heard on the forums here that the prodigy is a good one. I have a reese drawtite in my 97 F150 and have had no problems, the controller came from my dad's truck. The controller is about 4 years old and still works great. I may even suggest posting in the trailers and towing forum for more answers from some of the guys that tow a trailer everyday.

I bought a prodigy last year to replace the cheap one I got with my trailer. What a HUGH difference. Smooth and no more jerking. I paid around $200.00 can.
