I just purchased a new trailer to haul my Case toys around on and would like to know what you guys thank is the best type of brake controller to use. I know there are several types but I know very little about them. Thanks for the help.

Hi I normally am the watcher and learner, but I can help with this question. I have a Tekonsha Brake controller and am very satisfied and would recommend.
I went to a recreational trailer dealer and got a premade cable that mated with my truck a GMC, and they will have others to mate with Dodge,Ford and so forth. Good Luck.
 
They put a Pilot controller on my GMC that is good for up to 3 axles.It is simple to use with digital reading.

Techonsha is the brand I use and recommend. Buy a mid priced one as the cheapest perform as such and the spendy ones don't seem to be better than the mid priced ones in my experince.
 
I have a Kelsey Hayes Syncronizer in my 96 Dodge , it has worked well since about 99 on several different trailers. It is now listed under Hayes don't know where Kelsey went. https://www.amazon.com/Hayes-81725-Syncronizer-Based-Controller/dp/B002QZRXGG/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1494983786&sr=8-2-fkmr1&keywords=kelsey+hayes+brake+controller
 
My 2007 HD2500 Chev had a Drawtite installed when I bought it and it has worked well, I would imagine all should have to meet govt specs, the above mentioned ones in other posts are old trusted names in the industry also.
 
I've 3 controllers in use on various trucks one stands out. The Powerstop model 500-PS. I like it because it has 2 adjustments. First knob sets braking force, or adjusts to your load, the 2nd knob is a synchronizing adjustment, controlling exactly how fast the the unit will reach max braking force. You can easily set this one for the brakes to come after the truck brakes begin to work. Really nice for rain or snow conditions to keep things "in line"
