I work alone quite a bit so I have found that the IMatch with proper bushings and modifications to the implements is the best way to go. Spent the better part of one day making everything compatible with IMatch and it has been smooth sailing ever since. Anything I build or buy I try to get compatible to start with. My boxblade is the only thing left to modify, hope to do this soon.
If it were me I would get a cat 2 quick hitch since that is what the tractor is then make all the implements fit this.
I agree on getting the Cat 2 hitch. Our 265 MF is cat 2 so got Pat's Easy Change. Due to my physical limitations it makes hooking up the PTO much easier.
With most any quick hitch there is going to be some equipment modification required by older pieces.
