I recommend the Curt A-Series over the Curt Q-Series because the Curt A-Series is actually the new and improved version of the Curt Q-Series. The Curt A-Series has a new hitch head that contains interlocking dual jaws which grip the king kin tighter than the dual jaws of the Curt Q-Series therefore provide more security and less chucking/jarring. The tilting mechanism has also changed to further improve ride quality and ease of use. Lastly, both of these hitches should not be used with rotating pin boxes so this is sort of a no brainer anyhow.
Please note, because you have a rotating pin box we are actually going to use a fixed hitch and not a sliding hitch like we would for a short bed and non-rotating pin box. For this, I recommend the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16515-16025 along with Sidewinder Wedge # C16991 to keep the kingpin from rotating inside the hitch head.
