You can't really go wrong running the maximum. But, if you weigh the trailer and divide by the number of trailer tires it will give you the approximate weight each tire is carrying. Check the tire manufacturer's load/inflation chart and see about where you need to be for that load. Maybe add a few psi for safety.
I wouldn't worry about checking the trailer "every day" as someone suggested. Just a single weigh is a great idea for any trailer so you know about what your vehicle is working with.
After I have aired up tires to psi maximum, I use the "truckers club/bat" each day while traveling to check that the tires have not lost any significant amount of air. Any truck stop will have the club. I also put my hand of the wheel hub each day when traveling. If the hub is not to hot to touch on my hand, this indicates that the bearings are ok.
