To answer your question about the difference between backing a 5th wheel and a bumper hitch is the pivot point. The 5th wheel pivots at the back wheels of the tow truck and the bumper hitch pivots at the rear bumper of the tow truck.
That is what you will notice, not whether it has one or more axels.
A tandem axle is less bouncy as it tends to float over dips in the roads. I have towed trailers over 65 years and prefer a tandem when towing for many reasons. Brakes can be had on any number of axles. I would recommend following state laws wherever the trailer will be towed..
