Question:
Im needing a 2inch hitch receiver for a 2016 Subaru Outback. The hitch will be used infrequently so Im mainly interested in the hitch which is the least visible and hopefully has the most ground clearance. That said, which would you recommend between the Curt and the Hidden Hitch? Many thanks.

In terms of visibility the Draw-Tite part # 75673 is going to be your best option. It does not stick out nearly as much as the Curt # C13206 does.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118467. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
