For towing a pop up trailer with your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon the best hitch option is the Draw Tite Class III # 76227 as it's a 2 inch hitch with plenty of towing capacity and because it has a hidden crosstube which allows it to be less visible and better ground clearance. I attached a picture of what it looks like installed as well as an install video for you to check out.
For trailer wiring the Curt kit part # C56040 is what I recommend as it has the highest amperage rating which allows it to be more resistant to internal problems due to trailer wiring shorts and it installs easily as well.
Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
