I would go with the Draw Tite Hitch part # 24874 that you could order from us by easily hitting the add to cart button!
This hitch would do well to carry a 2 bike rack, the Curt Hitch you referenced would also carry 2 bikes well. But since Curt recommends the use of a stabilizer strap with that rack when using a bike rack it wouldn't be my first pick.
The most popular bike rack with other Mazda 5 owners is the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This is a great platform rack that would work well for you. It has a ton of positive customer reviews. Check out the review video I attached for this rack.
