Both can be backed up with no problem. From reviews both get high marks so the sway control, WD, and ease of hook up would be subjective I guess. Price wise they are similar. Off hand I'd say the Andersen has the BO beat as far as storage goes as it is more compact. The grease thing is still there with the BO.
The one complaint I have heard on the Andersen is keeping the frame brackets secure. I've heard where some folks have had them slip.

Having now owned both, used on the same TT (34' Hemi Lite (8000lb) with same TV 07 Dodge Ram 2500 CTD),= Andersen, great for storage and set up. Absolutely no sway. Problem is won't distribute weight back to front of TV. BO, yes is heavier, but not hard to set up, will distribute weight back to TV and also no sway. If I had a lighter TT would have stayed with the Andresen, but really like the BO as well. No grease exposed with BO. I do use grease on ball, whereas with Andersen, do not use grease on ball. Defeats anti sway ability.
