On our 2014 Sahara, we have a NSA tow bar and surge brake setup. Love it easy on. Easy off. My brother and I installed it. Learned a lot from numerous youtube videos. Good luck with your choice.

I also have a Ready Brute for my 17 Jeep. No issues and about 8000 miles towing. Ready brake works great, and is easy to set up.

Currie rock jock base, Curt rambler tow bar, M&G air brake. Easy to attach, works well, and very reasonable prices. Installed by myself in a morning.

I use a Blueox tow bar and base plate, and an M&G brake system on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited. Less than 5 minutes to connect or disconnect. Love it

On my previous 2016 JK Wrangler, I used the Currie Rockjock baseplate which doubles as a functional skid plate, Blue Ox tow bar, RVi3 brake, and a Hopkins plug and play wiring kit. Towed behind a gas class A. Everything worked great.
The RVi3 brake transferred over to the new Jeep. One of the reasons I went with a portable brake.

Frankly all of them are good. I'm using Maximus tow loops and a Ready Brute Elite tow bar with built in aux brake on my JL.

I would recommend the NSA Hercules tow bars with built-in ReadyBrake! Rated at 12,000 lbs with lifetime warranty!

What he said, and it's a steel tow bar. No I don't like aluminum, it work hardens and steel doesn't. Just my opinion.

Also a fan of the Ready Brute with surge brake. Easy to install, simple and lifetime warranty.
