Both of these are reliable brake controllers. Personally I like the freedom that the Curt Echo # C51180 gives you. You can use it on any vehicle with a properly wired 7-way and trailers with up to 2 braking axles. There is no wiring and it can be controlled from virtually any smart phone.
With the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 it is wired into the trailer and would have to be completely rewired to use on a different trailer. And I really don't want to have to rely on having to keep track of another key fob as I can see it being easily lost or dropped and forgotten about since it is only needed when using the trailer.
Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller - 7-Way Plug Mount w/ Bluetooth App - 1 to 2 Axle - Proportional
Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller - Trailer Mount w/ Remote Fob - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional
