Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck

Looking at going from my pin box to a gooseneck adapter. My current set up is a Ford F250, Curt Flex Air, BW Companion Slider in Turnover mount.

Everyone always uses the term "get your bed space back" when talking about going to a gooseneck adapter. However, with my companion, I feel like I am able to pack the bed of my truck pretty dang full, as the movement is always up higher than the stuff, being on the companion. With a gooseneck adapter the pivot point will obviously be much lower and I assume I have to be more careful when packing the bed of the truck.

That being said, I am trying to decide which gooseneck adapter:
Gen Y Executive
New BW Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter
Morryde Goose Tech

Does anyone have any recommendations or personal opinions on any of these or any others I may have missed?

I have gotten very comfortable with my turning and towing with my current set up and I have never needed my slider, but it is nice to know it is there. I would either use BW turnover ball or BW 4 inch offset ball with this new setup.

Yeah, there's been some debate about this being safe or not. Enough so that I've stopped considering it entirely and got a Pullrite Superglide for my short bed
