Pintle hitch is a rougher ride than a standard ball hitch. I bought an equipment trailer with a lunette eye (the ring that goes in the pintle hook) and have had a pintle hook on my truck since I bought it in 2000 (link in signature to picture of the bumper). The hitch assembly has an inch or so of forward and back travel as well as an inch or so of vertical travel so it bounces around when empty. When loaded with a fair amount of tongue weight the up and down bouncing is reduced but the fore and aft is not. I am looking into a heavy duty 2 5/16 standard hitch that I can have welded on the front of the trailer to make the ride a bit smoother and quieter, the hitch bangs a lot when pulling the trailer empty.
Just my experience, having pulled both.
