IIRC, you're contemplating local trips. Neither trailer will tow significantly different than the other at 500lbs difference. Stay in the corn belt and it'll be ok.
No trailer brakes would be a deal breaker on a vehicle like yours that has no headroom in braking ability to stop a trailer too, IMO.
If looking long term and you're not the mechanicin type, surge brakes are easy to neglect and become useless after a few years without a bit of upkeep.
While I agree that trailer brakes are a requirement, the 13 T&C might have good brakes. There were two brake setups available in 13, the HD brakes are 330mm dual piston calipers, the brakes on most half tons are only ~330-350mm so not much difference.
