For your 1993 GMC van I recommend the Draw Tite Hitch part # 41121, which you referenced. If you have the step van, you will want a multi-fit hitch as there are no custom fit hitches confirmed to fit your vehicle. I recommend the Curt Hitch part # 13703. This hitch can fit vehicle frames that are between 22 and 72 inches. As long as the width of your frame fits within that range this hitch would work well for you.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # ETBC6. The brake controller I recommend is the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 brake controller # 90885.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
