You should estimate how often you will use the trailer and how long you need to use the hydraulics for an average trip. That will give you an idea how many hours you will put on the engine per year or how many hours you will use the engine over the expected life of the trailer. That would help you decide if you need a 2,000 hour engine, or if a 250 hour engine will do what you need.
Consider what pressure and flow rate you will need. A two stage pump like used on a log spliter could be a time saver, especially if you have a hydraulic winch.
You could also look into what you can do to keep either engine as reliable as possible, things like: make it easier to drain the gas tank and run the remaining fuel out of the engine between uses; make it easy to change the engine oil; a cover to protect the engine from the elements; theft prevention; quick disconnects for charging the battery or a solar battery charger; keeping rodents and insects out of the engine (wasp spray under the cover and a fresh bar of original scent Irish Spring soap every six months); the cost of a carburetor rebuild kit or the cost to replace the carburetor; etc.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
