Remember stabilizers aren’t levelers... get the kind that you can actually level left to right

I dont own one but ive rented three different ones. Two had electric tongue jacks and one manual. One had both electric tongue jack and stabilizer. That was my favorite. For two of the rentals I was changing sites pretty often so the electric was great. I could see manual being a PITA if you were on the move

Bought my first one a year ago. It has electric tongue jack which I could see being a huge pain in the arse if it was manual. Especially since you may have to tinker a little bit to get it on and off the hitch.
My stabilizers are manual but I bought a battery powered impact and the socket for the stabilizer to raise and lower so it’s not bad.

I like the auto levelers that are on our 5th wheel. You literally hit the auto level button and it does it for you in less than 2 minutes.

Electric
But demo the manual backup and ensure it is not a PITA

Electric tongue jack. Don’t even think about this one.
I bought 4 scissor jacks and mounted them to the frame of the trailer, use my battery powered impact to run them up and down. Buy a treated 4x6 and cut it into blocks so none of the jacks have to move as far. It’s sat though a few storms on the coast through 50+ mph winds without a problem.

Electric tongue jack
Based on comments here and some research. I will go with electric tongue Jack and keep the manual stabilizers.

^^^ like he said electric tongue jack and manual stabilizer jacks. Unless you opted for the auto level. They have them on some bumper pull trailers.
