OK as Golden HVAC has stated as well as mtofell1 the technology of these trucks have come a long way in recent years however to a laymans view of SRW vs DRW think of it as Point Of Contact x Surface Area x Payload...
SRW as stated only a single POC and a slightly smaller surface area yet the payload can be high depending on the suspension and tire and wheel combination as ordered and or modified also with a standard profile parking and manuvering will be easier.
DRW POC will be more spread out resulting an a larger surface area which will also result in the payload being more evenly distributed and greater stability from the wider stance of the DRW the payload will be higher also with or without modifications. The disadvantage to most DRW is something that can be overcome once you have adjusted your driving style and habits appropiatly and that is the hips on a DRW.
All said and done it is your choice dependent upon your Trailer,FW,TC or whatever so please do your research and seek the advice of people who have the experience but in the end it will be yours
Good Luck
