For your trailer that is going to have a tongue weight range between 900 and 1,350 lbs I would recommend the Reese Straitline System part # RP66130 as it is basically the best WD system on the market. It has a tongue weight range of 800-1,400 lbs so it will match your trailer well and it has the only sway control that works to fight sway before it starts.
For a shank you would need the part # RP54970 and then for a hitch ball part # C40030.
This system will be hands-down a nicer setup than either system you mentioned as well.
