Depends on what you really want to do. You can tow 14,000 with a SRW. We went with a SRW short bed Crew Cab as we only spend around 40ish nights at the moment. My point is this is an everyday truck when not towing. A long bed dually is like driving a bus. Yes that's probably the best tow truck but you cant wheel around town in it to well. Has a large turn radius and you need to park away from people. So when you towed and at a cg and want to go exploring, into town etc, when unhitched you'll have to deal with parking/driving issues on tight streets. This was our decision. Our F250 CC Short Bed Gasser is perfectly matched with our 37' Heritage Glen Fifth wheel. If I change the rear end I can pull 15,000 and do not see the need to spend an extra $10-$15k for a diesel. We do just fine with our setup and 4x4 on the beach with the fiver. Actually that's where we spend the most time. In the sand. So think about your use and after towing use. That will answer your question.
Happy Trails
