Michael,
For the long bed you most likely do not need any kind of slider (ie one that slides back to avoid trailer interference with the cab in tight turns). Always buy a hitch that tilts side to side as well as fore and aft. Beyond that, your choice is how the hitch mounts to the bed. The cheaper version has rails that run across the bed and remain there when the hitch is removed. More expensve versions have mounting below the bed and leave the bed flat when the hitch is removed. You may also want to look at the way the pin locking works. Again, it is a matter of choices.
My suggestion is to visit Camping world, Quality bumper and one or more of the hitch installers including U-Haul. Ask questions, listen to the pitches. Then, before you buy, ask about experience with the one you are zeroing in on.
One other point. Like everything else these days, there are very few manufacturers of hitches but they are distributed under a lot of brand names. Find out who the manufacturer is when comparing prices.
Also, I am in North Phoenix about 43rd and Bell. Drop me an e-mail if you want to get together and talk more specifically.
