Brake controller recommendations

I have a Prodigy P3. It works ok. It takes a long time to adjust an empty to loaded trailer which is a problem if you forget since the manual brake only applies up to the set voltage. If it's set low, you won't have a lot of trailer brakes. I commonly lock up the brakes while I'm getting it figured out. I pull a lot of different trailers with a lot of different loads, so I can't just memorize a setting. I feel like it is either on or off, and does not apply gradual power to the brakes the way you squeeze the brakes in a tow vehicle. I don't know if that's possible, but that would be a very valuable feature to me.

All the threads anywhere seem to be circa 2010. They rant and rave about the brake max that apparently went out of business. So in new controllers there is one called 'Direct Link'. It pulls info from the obdII port to do the braking.

Is the P3 still the best, or is there something better?
