Ditch comment; To low of tongue weight is likely to cause massive trailer sway problems, thus, a trip to the ditch.
To make sure the OP is not mislead...the above is overcome by heavily front loading the TT bringing up the tongue weight to approximately 13%.
It's not rocket science and it's not a scary situation. Just something to be aware of that can be easily handled.
Back to your original question though...TT vs. 5th. Your call. My call was I am not giving up truck bed space so the decision was easy. TT can be loaded and hitched so they track extremely well. Don't let someone scare you into believing only 5ths handle/track well.
