Tim, you are good to go with either of those trailers.
Something to consider, besides getting the floor plan you like, is FW trailer axle size. Many of the 10k GVWR trailers have light axles. They will be rated 4,400 lbs, and will have smaller brakes. If you get 5,200 lb axles, you will get the better/larger 12" brake drums.
Be aware, your truck is tall, and will affect how level your trailer tows. If you buy a smaller FW, your next thread may be, how do I get my FW to tow level. You have seen many FWs going down the road, tail dragging, nose to the sky, not the best setup. Do some measuring BEFORE purchase. If your truck squats a little, it may be a good thing.
