Given the high cost of a dealer installed hitch, close to $1,000, I would go for a really cheap hitch. Just make sure that the hitch uses existing bolts under the car and doesn't require drilling holes in the subframe where rust can start. A class I hitch made in Bangladesh sounds good, if you add a layer of flat black paint to help it from rusting really fast. Oh, you might want to coat the inside of the receiver with a very thin layer of grease so that part doesn't begin to rust.
