Help Picking Out Trailer Hitch for 1997 Chevy S-10 with Sportside and Roll Pan Bumper

Question

Question:

I have a 97 chevy s10. I call it a stepside but is it also called a sportside? It has a roll pan rear bumper and Im looking for the right trailer hitch to put on it. Not sure which one is the right one.
