Whenever possible I highly recommend the B and W Companion fifth wheel hitches like the part # BWRVK3600 that is confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Ram 3500 long bed with the factory rail kit.
The Companion hitches are often referred to as the nicest fifth wheel hitches around. If you do any online searches for what the best fifth wheel hitch is it's almost unanimous that the Companion hitches are the best.
The hitches are a very simple design overall that just works and has a jaw system that provides excellent king pin contact for a smooth quiet ride.
I attached an install video that shows this hitch being installed and used in a similar 2015 Ram 3500 as yours.
