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.

Weight distribution systems typically will make some noise as there is a lot of tension between the metal to metal components that move slightly.

Best option for the lower noise with the tongue weight range of 200-600 lbs is the part # EQ37060ET. The key to keeping the noise down with this system is to use the Equal-i-zer High-Performance Lubricant # EQ91-00-4250.
