The brand isn't very important, the big thing is to make sure it's the correct type of brake controller. There are 2 main types, the safest by FAR is a "proportional" brake controller, which means when you push the brake pedal to 10%, so does the trailer, and when you push it to 50%, so does the trailer, etc. The other type I believe is "time delayed" (the longer you hold the brake pedal down the harder the trailer brakes) and... can't remember if there are other types. I personally have a Tekenosha Prodigy and it works great towing an 8000# trailer. The nicer controllers allow you to have the trailer brake harder than the truck, which is desired at highway speeds to reduce sway.
