My 2 cents says:
How much will you be towing? Full time or part time?
What is the gvwr of the fiver you have in mind?
If gvwr is under around 13500, SRW would be ok. More that matters is how much will you be towing? If full time, then no question DRW. If the truck will also be a daily driver, then you will need to decide using weight of fiver and pin as main factor.
My 1 ton SRW tows my 12k fiver with no issues and DRW would be overkill in my case. I also drive it daily for work and tow about 2k year.
I agree with this post exactly. I have basically the same truck and and same size fiver and I totally concur. I would say if you do get a DRW and you going to drive it on snow or ice in the winter make sure and get 4 wheel drive because they Su$% bad when empty!
