We get the Fontaine 48' flats with a closed tandem axles. Steel beams and steel bed with wood. The heavier the trailer the better for us. We get 14 winches on the rail with a headboard. LED lights (minimum number), aluminum rims, and sliding tandems. We have 6 of those right now. Thinking about going with some shorter Doonan trailers, something along a 40' trailer. I believe that we have them all with the 24" king pin setting.

Just curious, why heavier the better?

Because sometimes it takes a heavy trailer to haul a heavy load. Lightweight aluminum trailers can haul just about whatever you want, but sometimes it takes a good old fashioned "Lead sled" to get the job done.
