I have had both axels on two different trailers and I will tell you that the 5000# torsion axels are better because of all the extra stuff you carry. For example if you intend to take your car to the track you will probably have a set of tires and wheels, 5 or 10 gallions of race fuel, assorted tools, jack stands, jack, etc. It all ads up pretty quickly.

My first trailer was a 20 foot enclosed but I have since bought a 24 foot enclosed and I can tell you my 24' trailer tows better for two reasons. One because it is a lower profile and two because of the weight distrubution. Something that no one has mentioned is a trailer hitch stabilizer package or anti sway bar. This really helps when the semi's pass you at 80 mph. The cost for the anti sway bars are as little as $75 and are worth every penny.
