Looking for advice

I almost think you're "trolling".
A "long bed" 6 1/2 foot bed? Thats a short bed. Long beds are 8 feet.
You bought a 43 foot trailer and custom ordered a truck to pull it, and you bought a half-ton?
First thing you need to do is trade in that expensive mistake (if this is even real) and get a 3/4 or 1-ton pickup.

To actually answer your question, there are only a few manufacturers of airbags and all are just fine.
I like airbags, with an onboard air compressor to operate them, because of their super easy infinite adjustability.
Overload springs work great too, you just can't adjust them very easily. They're simple and reliable and cheap though.
Either will get the job done.



Dry weight of a trailer is a meaningless spec. They are NEVER (yes, never) that light. You have the wrong truck, regardless of what the specs say it can theoretically tow.
It will physically pull the thing if you hitch it up, but man... I don't know what salesman you listened to when they sold you a half-ton for a trailer like that...
