    All brands are very similar. They will all last longer than the car itself. The paint may fade and get slight rust but they wont weaken for many years.

    An extra coat of paint before fitting if your into that thing.

    Fixed flange, Swan neck or detachable which one do you prefer?

    And as above are you going Single 7 pin Twin 7 pin or 13 pin?

    Does the car have Canbus? Is the thing being towed using LED lamps?

    I got a high end detachable one it kept the value of the car up, people see a tow bar and think caravan puller. The decision more than paid for the tow bar and fitting. It great it auto-locks has anti-theft and a little storage area for cables. When I'm not using its just in the boot

    Go detachable if you rarely tow and care about aesthetics.

    And skinned shins. Our cars have detachables.
