I think overall, the more important factor will be the individual shop. I have a great shop that can work on either and their rates will be pretty similar. But, they only have one lift that can handle a 36-38ft rig. So, it will often be difficult to get the work done quickly if there is another rig ahead of you. If you got to a shop with multiple lifts capable, then you will most likely be paying a higher hourly rate.
For me, if I was that concerned with the difference between repair costs, I would go with a TT or 5er and a truck. The truck will be easier and less expensive to repair.
