I looked up the 4 brands you listed here and this is what I see. I think the least attractive of the bunch is the PJ. Starting with it lists a 40° dump angle, that is going to have you helping with the unloading. You need at least 45° to get stuff out reliably and then wet dirt and some debris types are going to be trouble, at 40° that is going to be significant. I'm also not impressed by the 11ga tubing in the construction. Tubing, especially as thin as 11ga, is a rust through problem if you're in the salt belt at all. Other than that I don't see anything that causes me great concern.
The finnish line trailer does not list a dump angle anywhere I could find, so check that carefully. Remember you need at least 45°. Other than that they appear to be heavy made, the 3/16" floor and taller frame rails will make for a more durable trailer than the PJ. This one also has the remote control, so no wires, that should be handy so you can keep the control in the truck.
The delta list a 45° dump angle, so that is good. Looks to have a very heavy duty frame and is well designed as far as I can see. The 10ga floor is the minimum, but exceptable. The axles are the same as the others. This one also list the cordless remote control.
The titan also lists a 45° dump angle in the pdf download. The frame size is not listed, but looks ok to me, altho lighter duty than the delta or Finnish Line. The sides, altho only 12ga, are galvanised so that might be a benifit. They also use torflex axles which are very good axles and will never have a worn out suspension. They will also help if your tow vehicle is a bit on the light side.
So, if I was buying and money was not the issue, I like the titan the best. I like the PJ the least. The other 2 will be heavier and maybe a bit more durable in sone ways, but will be harder to pull and have less net capacity due to the heavier construction. For what it's worth, that's how I see them.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
