I was a newbie myself, just getting a 5th wheel last March. I have the Patriot package with the roto-flex pin box, and I am glad I have it. When I asked my dealer about a sliding hitch, he recommended against it. I have the 6ft. 6in. bed in my GMC. and after one season, I have to agree that he was right. If you have to make some really tight turns backing up, you need it, but for me it would have been a waste. Normally you can put it where you want it by just pulling forward a little bit to get a different line on it, and then backing it in.
