Well I don't know any caravanners who remove their tow-balls. Certainly none of my friends ever do, yet some of them do have detachables. I have a cover which slips over my tow-ball when not in use, and I put that on as soon as I unhitch. Obviously it doesn't stop me banging my shins, but it does stop me getting greasy. Still, each to their own.

I think that there is no perfect answer. What suits one person won't suit another. If you are bothered about what others think of the look of your car (I'm not), and you are always going to remove/stow your tow-bar when you unhitch your caravan, then fit a detachable/stowable one. If you probably won't bother removing your tow-ball anyway, fit a fixed one as it's much cheaper. Neither will tow any better, and that's what's important really. It's all simply a matter of personal choice. There is no right or wrong answer.
