If one ton is heaviest your looking to haul just find a F-250 or 2500 (3/4 ton) and put some good D or E rated tires on it, a flat bed with removable side makes it easy to load and unload from.
This would give you a truck to drive anytime rather than have it sitting around waiting on that occasional heavy load, later you could get that dump trailer if you feel the need for it.
Nothing wrong with a F-350 or 3500 dually if you feel you have enough need for one, insurance is normally a little higher, more tires to replace and they need more room to park.
I got tired of climbing in and out of the bed to hook and unhook my gooseneck trailers, a new tandem dually trailer also had us hauling heavier loads (6-8 tons cargo) so I decided to get a flatbed dually.
Didn't really need the F-450 cab and chassis I have now but the price was right and it had the features and drive train I was looking for in a used truck, I did have a full skirted custom flatbed installed.
