As has been said I would vote 3/4 ton, you might eventually upgrade to a larger trailer. One thing I don't hear talked about much is going and stopping are not the only concerns, stability is huge as there is nothing I can think of that is more uncomfortable when towing than being pushed around by your load.
Think about pulling a 8000lb load with say a 5000lb tow vehicle or a 7500lb tow vehicle, you are going to have more stability with the heavier tow vehicle all things being equal. When you have to make a fast emergency maneuver the extra weight, larger brakes and extra stability of the heavier tow vehicle will be appreciated.
