Assuming you pull a car behind the MH, it's pure preference. No one hand cranks the 5th wheel landing gear today and if you want auto leveling and other assists, they are available for either. It takes us no longer to set up or tear down compared to a couple in a MH. 5th wheels aren't hard to hook up single handed.
Living space is a bit better with a 5th wheel but not by a huge margin.
Once on the road, both are easy to drive and will go the same places (5th wheel has a slight advantage in that you can back up if you get caught somewhere you shouldn't be. A MH with a TOAD must unhook to back up more than a few feet).
If you are willing to live without a car, a smaller class C would be a good option for a single guy and a dog.
