From the weight capacities you listed, I definitely suggest the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. This can handle up to 4 axles with brakes and with the custom pigtail # 3035-P, it will plug directly into the port under your dash. This will also handle electric or electric-over-hydraulic trailer brakes if ever needed.
