The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached an FAQ on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.
The Reese Light Duty Weight Distribution System # 66557 would be a great option for you. It has a tongue weight range of 250-400 lbs which would work well with your trailer. This system also features a friction sway control system.
A WD system with a 1,000 lb tongue weight rating would be way overkill for your setup and would give you a very harsh ride.
