Is a higher TT GVWR better?
If a travel trailer's load (all my cargo, liquids, batts, LP, etc.)PLUS dry trailer weights were hypothetically say 8,200lbs for two TTs I'm considering, but the GVWR on one was 9800 and the other 11,...

Ignoring cost, wouldn't the TT with the highest GVWR, even if I don't need to put more cargo in it, essentially be safer due to stronger brake system?
Brakes on any RV trailer is a function of the GAWRs and not the GVWR. So to answer your concern about brakes on the two trailers choose the one with the larger GAWRs. Now some of the higher end RV trailers have used the sum of the axle rating as the trailers GVWR as most commercial trailers.
However generally speaking the larger GVWR trailer can have a more robust frame/suspension.
IMO there is no generic answer to your question as much depends on the actual frame/running gear in use.
