Update: after much discussion, my wife vetoed dually after I brought one home and parked it on our driveway. Now I am looking at SRW long vs short box. I know long box has bigger gas tank and more camper options, but some campers in the lower weight ranges are built specifically for short box. I lean long box but I need to think further and decide.
I would go long box. All I ever had was shortboxs and my newest truck is a long box, I would never go back. there are lots of light weight campers that fit in a long box, you may not get a generator, but thats not a bad thing to me. if you buying a newer truck you should have a gvrw thats higher than mine and I would have no problem hauling a 3600 lb dry camper in mine. the one I am looking at upgrading to is used by a rv rental company on a SRW truck and they have more regulations and such it is 3500lbs ish. I guess a lot depends on how much junk you put in the camper also.. I only put about 250lbs of junk and clothes, far from the 5-600lbs most people take. My 5th wheel is for the junk.
