Long Bed or Short Bed PU for towing a fifth wheel?

We are getting ready to purchase a 1 ton Dodge or GMC Denali PU to pull an overall length fifth wheel of 37 feet. Could we get some opinions on whether to go with a long bed PU (8 foot)or a short bed ...

Full time = Big box :B
The longer wheel base will ride better, the non slider hitch will have less movement and you'll have more room for stuff. Not to mention the short wheel base trucks don't come with 6 wheels :W
Now if it was a DD or garage issue you'd have to decide, but full time means getting the right tool for living full time.
