Well, I'd not buy either of those trailers - way too big, but:

For either one: F350 diesel, or Ram 3500 with Cummins
(If you go Cummins, stop by Columbus, IN some time. Nice town, and really nice to see a major corporation that's still willing to invest in the community.)

No need for dually, and they're a lot harder to maneuver when not towing.
