I have always believed that "if you need to add suspension aids, you need more truck"
After saying that the real answer comes from a trip to the scales fully loaded ready to travel. Whether you travel 50 or 500 miles really makes no difference.
That would depend on how you feel about driving a huge truck, and where you are in capacity with a smaller vehicle.
You probably love having a big truck...the bigger the better.
For others, the bigger the truck, the more of a pain in the behind to drive.
If I I'm within capacity, and can enhance a 1/2 ton to make it tow or handle better, that is much better than having that large and fat cumbersome pot belly pig HD truck... when not towing, 1/2 ton trucks stops, and are much more nimble than HD.
For some drivers, you give up a little in towing, but gain a lot when not towing.
