Go for the heavier trailer & if some one gives you a ticket for being safe the judge will throw it out.

As for a steel deck vs wood I like having steel deck trailers as they don't need the wood replaced & things don't fall threw the boards. I have several steel deck trailers & wood deck trailers & the steel deck trailers have 0 mataince & the wood trailers alway seem to be rotten. but if you have unlimited shed space it won't matter. My oldest steel deck is 20 yrs & rust is not an issue with orginal paint or lack there of.
