Dean, I'm using a 15K Reese Classic double pivot hitch and have been very happy with it. The 16k is the newer version of mine. I've also used the standard RBW single pivot and the RBW Lil Rocker double pivot. I'd personally go with the double pivot. If I already had a single pivot I wouldn't switch to the double but buying new I would go double. Less stress on the kingpin and it's support structure when the fifthwheel and truck are on significantly different planes. Plus the double is far easier to unhitch and hitch when the fw and truck are on different planes.

I've never used a Husky, DrawTite, or Pullrite but they look like good hitches to me. In your shoes I'd buy whichever is the better price so long as it's double pivot and at least 15k rating and is one of the brands mentioned in this thread.

Good luck. Enjoy the Montana!
