You haven't said anything about the tow vehicle, so a newer, bigger fifth wheel is more likely to push the limits of the tow vehicle than a TT will. However, if that is not a problem, I would suggest a fifth wheel toy hauler. Much easier to load the bikes into that than into the back of the truck bed. Plus when the bikes are out, you have more usable living area vs an empty truck bed. But the primary reason for recommending a fifth wheel is the easier hookup, towing stability and shorter overall length.
Yes what he said!!! We are on our 4th "trailer", the first 2 were bumper tow travel trailer and the last 2 were 5th wheel toy haulers. The latest and most curent one is the 2011 Keystone Raptor 4014. Its a beast and yes I had to upgrade my TV from a 2002 F350 diesel CC LB SRW to a 2006 F550 Diesel CC LB DRW. Get as big as you can safely tow or else you will be in my shoes when I had to look for a new TV. Here is a pic.
