In 3/4 ton and 1-ton vehicles I prefer higher profile tires on smaller wheel sizes, even preferring 16 inch and 75-85 profiles over the 18 inch. This is because of how I use them, much of the time riding light. The higher profile tire usually has a better ride on small harsh bumps than a wider low profile.
I know low profile tires handle better, and I prefer low and wide on my passenger car, but I don't drive the car and truck the same way. Most larger trucks are going to roll, or trigger the roll stability programming, long before I get to the cornering limits of a 50-series or 40-series tire.
