I researched pretty thoroughly and it came down to the Curt and the Draw-Tite (and identical models sold under different names). The Curt give about 1.5" more ground clearance but the Draw-Tite has a small amount of additional theoretical towing capacity, but both exceed the car's specified limit.
The Curt has some fine print in its documentation about not using a non-trailer load (such as a bike rack) without a stabilizing strap. This appears to be lawyerly CYA, and with the hatch spoiler it seems impossible to use a strap without risking damage. Prices are similar; when I checked UHaul offered the Draw-Tite for about five bucks less.
Both get good reviews, so I'd suggest you choose whatever you can find in stock. Trailering stuff, cross-bars and rooftop bins are in very short supply right now as the Covids keep folks off airplanes with the holidays looming.
For reasons of availability and the extra clearance given my steep driveway, I chose the Curt. No regrets.
Don't forget to get the wiring harness too. It's pretty much legally universal that trailer lights must be connected. Installing the hitch is a reasonably straightforward do-it-yourself job if you have a spare 90 minutes and, ideally, a helper. But installing the harness is a bit of a b****. I paid to have both done at my local UHaul while I enjoyed a nice IPA at a microbrewery down the street.
