First time TT buyers, looking for advice on brand, etc.
We have a 2017 Nissan Armada 2WD, with a max towing capacity of 8,500 lbs, so we're thinking a 6,000 lb. TT max.
You should be thinking 6000 lbs max
fully loaded & ready to camp. That in turn means a trailer with a UVW under 5000 lbs at most, especially for a family of 5 who would load at least 1000 lbs into any trailer.

Sorry, but with 2 of your 3 so close to leaving and likely not camping with you much longer IMO it's silly to be buying a family trailer with bunk beds that are going to end up empty very quickly. It won't kill these 2 older ones to sleep in a tent and that in turn will allow you to consider couple's trailers that will obviously serve you much better for a much longer time. You may not care for the idea of having the 3rd younger child sleep on a sofa or dinette converted to a bed but that's far better than dragging around bunk beds you don't use.
