I had one like #2 where you had to push in and turn it to get it to lock. It was easy, but kind of a pain. Now I have one that still looks like #2 but one end twists off. I like it way better.

Which ever type you get, get it at a local store so you don't pay for shipping and can return it easy if you don't like it.

I have one like #3 but it is Valley brand. the pin just pushes into the lock, no twisting. I like it a lot, wouldn't mess around with any other kind.

I have #2 and my parents have #3 on their truck. Either one works great. I kinda think the S&W one is kinda cool. Then you could say your hitch is protected by a Smith and Wesson.
