My fifth wheel is a reflection,337.lippert pin box—- will I need a capture or locking plate for pin box? Would this be a good hitch for my purpose.

The Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 will work with industry-standard, above-bed rails which is exactly what it sounds like you have; the Hijacker Autoslide also uses four pins to mount to the rails.
As far as a locking plate that would only be necessary if your Lippert pin box was a Trailair version, which I assume you would have mentioned. For standard Lippert pin boxes you will not need a locking plate with your Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034.
I've added links to a pair of video reviews on this hitch for you to take a look at as well.
