Going longer is of course going to be more comfortable. Longer also means heavier and will put you in the position of needing a 3 quarter ton truck. That means less MPG more expensive tires and maintenance. You do not need 4wd,but in the northern regions 2wd is less common.
Unless you are made of money I think that a smaller rig you suit you better.
Manufacturer tow ratings are very optimistic. Chevy, Ford , or Dodge may claim 8000# towing, but that will be under optimal conditions. Last thing you want to do is invest that kind of money, and find yourself cresting grade at 20mph and have the trailer wagging the truck every time a semi passes you.
