I've been using a Prodigy for a couple of years now, and it works great. I have a nearly 10000 lb trailer, so I do want brakes in reverse. For a lighter trailer, I could see it not mattering.

Here is where I bought mine:

Free shipping, free wiring harness.

I'm not going to make any suggestions on the brake controller itself....it's like tuners; everyone's got a favorite.

However, make damn sure to look at the directions for wiring up the controller because most of the ones I have installed over the last 5 years (I do a lot) have a warning about hooking up the "brake on" (red) wire on the controller in the Ford trucks pertaining to a ground condition instead of "open" when the brake pedal is not depressed. Some brake controllers cook themselves when the red wire is grounded instead of just being open when the brake pedal is not depressed.
