I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite about the Hide-A-Goose hitches you asked about.

Part # 9464-35 is actually rated higher in Towing capacity at 30,000 lbs than the # 9464-57. The head on the 9464-57 is rated at 30,000 lbs but the lower capacity is due to the construction of the installation rails included. My contact said the 9464-35 is constructed of stronger steel.

The B and W Gooseneck, part # BWGNRK1313 is a great hitch as well. One note about the B and W is the shank on the ball is square, so your limited by the choices of balls that are used with this hitch. It has the same rating and should perform very well, just as the Draw-Tite hitch does.

To be honest, I think you would get as good a performance from the Draw-Tite # 9464-35 as you would from any of the other hitches, and you may save a few dollars in the process.
