Here's my dilemma...which makes more impact on potential to sway? Too much tongue weight or too little tongue weight?

Being nose-high will cause sway even if the weights are Otherwise fine.
I do not agree with this statement as towing high increases tongue weight.
It's my understanding that Ivylog is right- raising ball height increases tongue weight, at least on trailers with more than one axle. Lifting the tongue above level means you're also sort of "lifting" the frontmost axle on the trailer and pushing down on the rearmost.
Single axle trailers are different- raising the ball height will definitely lighten the tongue since in those cases one's simply pivoting the trailer on the axle.
