I would go 16" wheels on the trailer and 12" brakes. With the 16" wheels you have more high quality tire options and the 12" brakes will stop much better.
I agree that a 16 foot deck won't work with the jeep. You will also need some room to dial in the weight distribution on the trailer. With the bikes up front, you might need some wiggle room for the jeep to make sure you don't put too much weight on the tongue.
I wonder if you will also benefit from looking for some specific axle placement arrangement that will work better with your intended load?
