In order to choose the correct weight distribution system for your needs, you'll need to find the tongue weight of your trailer when it's fully loaded and ready to tow. A tongue weight scale like # e99044 is a handy item to have to determine your tongue weight, but there are other ways to figure that out, as you can see in the article I've linked for you.
The Fastway e2 you looked at, part # FA92-00-1000 is rated for trailers with fully loaded tongue weighs ranging from 600-1000 lbs, as you mentioned. If the tongue weight of the fully loaded trailer falls within that range, the # FA92-00-1000 would work great for you.
Should you determine the tongue is above 1000 lbs but less than 1200 lbs, use the next highest-rated e2 model, part # FA92-00-1200.
I've linked to product demonstration videos for the Fastway e2 weight distribution system and the tongue weight scale mentioned above.
