I should clarify a few things here. First, the general idea on the utility trailers with the sides is not about having sides, it's about cost. The sides are what's called a truss type frame. Since the sides are in the neighborhood of 14" tall you can use a LOT less pounds of metal to carry the weight over say a 4" or 6" channel frame. That is why they are cheaper. The angle frame trailers of the same capacity will weigh hundreds of pounds less than channel trailers.
In this case the top 2 would be very similar in cost, but the flat will be about $1,000.00 more because of the extra material and labor. That may make a difference in your recommendations.
As far as the 20' recomendation I am thinking that with just 7,000 lb capacity that would be too long and lead to overloading. It would also dramatically increase the cost in this case for more material. The structural deck that I will be using is VERY expensive.
Just an interesting note, all 3 of these trailers were built for the same customer.
