The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3700 (20,000 lbs) or # BWRVK3705 (25,000 lbs) will both work because they do not use the gooseneck hole to mount, they use your factory puck system to mount in your truck and the Companion is compatible with Sidewinder rotating pin boxes so long as the Companion mounts to the pucks.
The part number you referenced are base rails, and because your 2018 GMC Sierra already has the factory puck system/gooseneck you would not be able to install those rails.
I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.
