For me, I like a four door truck. Add an 8 foot box to that and you are taking up a lot of real-estate. I commonly hear the argument of the long beds are better for towing due to the longer wheel base. But a short bed with a 4 door cab is the same length as a long bed with a two door cab. So virtually no difference in towing. Also the short bed fits in my garage.
As for hauling plywood or drywall, if it's only a few sheets I leave the tailgate up. If it is going to be a heavy load, put the tailgate down and use ratchet straps to tie it in. Actually, I tie it in either way.
When's the last time you saw a two door long bed pickup on the lot? Nobody is buying them. Seems like a pointless comparison to me.

I'd buy a 10' bed if they made one. I can't fit everything I need in an 8' bed, I can't imagine trying to work with one shorter. If you're going to use the truck to haul, which is what they are for, I would get the longer bed. The longer wheel base will ride better. Usually long bed trucks have larger fuel tanks than their short bed counterpart.
