The Reese Goosebox has been approved by Lippert for use on their frames.

The Andersen and Pullrite are not really gooseneck. Yes they use a ball hitch, but don’t have the long lever arm of a gooseneck hitch. Don’t know Lippert’s position on them. But being ball mount you are supposed to use safety chains for any of the three.

4x4? Will you be towing in winter? Going off road? Camping in campgrounds with dirt or sand sites? Daily driver in winter conditions? Then yes. Always “camping” at parks with concrete, paved, or gravel sites, and no winter driving then 4x4 is a matter of what do you want. But finding a choice of trucks in higher trim levels in 4x2 is typically not easy.

I have 4x4 but have never once needed it when towing. But except for one park where sites are hard packed native soil that does not get soft with rain, we have always been in parks with at least gravel sites.
