Although I've always owned a travel trailer, for your purposes, a fifth wheel is the best option. For full timing, you'll get the most living space for overall length, and you reduce the overall length due to part of the trailer sits over the truck bed. Secondly, you are going to have more storage space for gear, etc. which you will need for being on the road full-time. And, it seems to me there are a few more "quality" brands to choose from versus travel trailers, although the market has changed and some of the top end fifth wheel manufacturers are no longer in existance.
A travel trailer would cost less, but if you need to save a few bucks, look for a good used fifth wheel. A lightly used fifth wheel would give you the biggest bang for the buck, providing you have the knowledge/skills to make sure there aren't any problems with the unit. And, I would suggest having any unit that you are ready to purchase be checked out by an independent RV service tech if at all possible.
