As far as I know it depends on the model and weight! A lite weight trailer will have the A frame all one hieght. The heavier trailers got the dropped A frame.
I kinda think its the other way. An inline A frame seems stronger to me, as it has more contact area with the rest of the frame and more places for strong welds.
The dropped A frame always seemed chintzy to me, allowing a relatively small area for welds.
I prefer the integrated inline A frame myself. My 9500 lbs GVWR Jayco has the integrated inline A frame. I've only seem the dropped A frame on "lite" models...
