Here we go

It’s like asking what’s the best tow vehicle. IMO you can’t go wrong with Pull Rite. My second choice would be a Demco.

The Pull Rite requires a “ capture plate” on the pin box, the Demco requires “guide plates” be adjusted. I have installed a whole bunch of Pull Rites.

Very satisfied with the Pull Rite but have not used any other auto slide to compare.

As Chuckster mentioned, no one can tell you which is best because they only use one. Human nature seems to bring out "Run the one you brung" instead of just telling about the satisfaction, or lack thereof, with the one you use.
We have used the Demco for many years, however we use a plate mounted to the bottom of the king pin to activate the turn process. It seems to work much better than the guides furnished with the Demco. I also have no reason to believe that this hitch is better then any other, I just know it worked for us for many years, and worked well.
I can furnish pictures to you if needed.

Demo has a capture plate option because i wasn't impressed with the operation of the one on the hitch. Saw some videos that says you have to open an tighten on every hook up but not disconnect. Sure send pics please

I am happy with my pullrite super glide. I like the fact that I never have to worry about making too tight of a turn. It is fairly heavy at around 250lbs. I use a cherry picker to get it in and out.

I'll add - pullrite superglide.

I ended up with Andersen, but original intent was the Pullrite, and other than possibly a Reese goosebox, I'd go Pullrite if I switch.
