The Scott stabiliser was a good make and will work just as good as an hitch stabiliser and probably better than an Al-Ko hitch stabiliser. The rust can be cleaned off the Scotts blade, its the pads that matter the most and they can be cleaned or replaced.
The plus for the hitch type stabiliser is that it is more convenient.

If you choose to use the Scott stabiliser tell the towbar fitter as a fixed towball is the preferred choice.

Whatever your preference in stabilisers, using one is far better than not bothering.

I certainly would not advise fitting a towbar with a swan neck or detachable tow ball if using a blade type stabiliser as the clamp on connecting plate on your towbar relies on grub screws to prevent it moving on the swan neck. The clamp can twist rendering your stabiliser
ineffective.
