Backing up with sway control?

I am new here and new to trailers and have a question for all you experts. I am thinking of getting a weight distribution hitch of some kind and also some sway control of some kind. A friend of mine has a sway control friction bar on his hitch and he says he has to unhook that before backing up the trailer. Is this common? Sounds like a real pain to me! I am assuming that with the more expensive WD hitches with integrated sway control, unhooking it would not be necessary before backing up, but want to know for sure.

We have a T-1950, towed with a 2001 Dodge Durango. I haven't towed it much at all yet, but there is a good bit of sway and bouncing around. Folks tell me a WD hitch will take care of this. I'd be comfortable spending $300 or so on a hitch system but $500-600 is more than I am interested in spending right now.
