Follow the most restrictive instructions. If one manufacturer says " no" and the other one says "yes", as far as WD and sway reduction/control, go with the sway control. As one of the general rules in another "hobby" I have states "Always follow the safer course of action".
When you get a WD system, have the seller set it up on your rig. Watch them do it, so you know how. Ask questions, take pictures, if you want. Take notes. There probably won't be anyone around at 11 at night for you to ask if you are hooking it up right. I know what I'd tell you to do with it if you called me at that time of night...
I have towed single and tandem axle trailers, both with and without WD and sway control, and the difference IS noticeable. Even the same tandem axle unit, that seemed to pull very well without, pulled a lot better with.
