What is your reason for wanting such a short TT with that much truck? (Serious question), is it because you want to get into more remote sites etc? Fine if that's the case, I'm just curious. I promise you if you went to a 20-24 foot TT, after the first couple trips you woudnt even think about it. If it's because you think you can't get one for $9K, I think with patience and cash in hand, you could get a nice one for that. May not be quite as new, but if the previous owner took care of it you'll be fine. Finally, since you asked. Between the two examples you gave I would not buy a hybrid. Good luck.

It is about cost and storage, ignore the truck. This is going into a tight space in my backyard and I just can't have a 20+ foot trailer taking up that much space and I am not paying rental fee somewhere to store it offsite. Also, doubt you will find anything newer (less than 2 years) in mint condition for $8000 (or less). If I can get the TT for say $6 or $7k in cash, I almost don't care about the lack of space inside for that price. It will only be used for short weekend camp trips with no more than a couple nights at most. Worst case after a couple years, I grow out of it or wind up never using it, and I will get most of my money back and then I can make a better decision on what I really want based on my personal experiences at that time.

This to me is the cheap, easy, very low risk way of trying out RV lifestyle.
