I have a 7X14 to carry our two ATVs. It is a tandem axle, and I would not have it any other way. IMO (based purely on my experience), a tandem tows better and is easier to back up.
Braking is not an issue in this state, because the law (MCA 61-9-304) requires brakes on ALL wheels of a trailer of 3000 lbs. GVW or more, and a trailer must have a breakaway system that will hold the brakes applied for at least 15 minutes if the trailer breaks completely away from the towing vehicle.
