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 a help article 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.
For a weight distribution system for a trailer with a tongue weight under 500 lbs that would allow you to back up as long as you don't turn too tightly you would be the Reese WD System part # RP66540.
To help with the bouncing be sure that you have a ball mount that has the rise/drop that you would need to tow your trailer level.
