My parents used to have one on there 16' single axle travel trailer that they towed with my K5. It helped keep the sway down alot on that old heavy camper.

I use them all the time when towing campers or large enclosed trailers. Never had a need for them with any of my car trailers though.
I actually just put a dual setup on my newest camper because it sits at 12.5ft tall and 29 ft long, so there is alot of surface for the wind to toss it around.

I run one on my deckover trailer when it is empty. when there is a weight on it and properly loaded I don't see a difference. But my trailer is a unique situation. anything you can do to make your trailer track better is a good idea.

All of the kits are pretty much the same, so whatever brand you go with will work fine.

I installed one on a 7K trailer I used to have for towing my one ton K-5 because @ 7K GVW, it was maxed out.

It made a huge difference and made towing easy.

Upgraded to a 10K trailer recently but kept the sway control simply cause it works.

A properly loaded trailer shouldn't really ever be a problem but having run these systems for a couple years now, I'll probably always run em.
