Gooseneck trailer question

Looking at getting a gooseneck and was wanting to see if anybody has had experience with some 30ft goosenecks. Which did you like better, the pros and cons of dual tandems vs 3 single axles.
dual tandems give a 20000 lbs axles rating and 3 axles give a 21000 lbs rating.
dual tandem trailers runs about $700 more.
I have a f-250 and dad has a 350 that we would pull it with, both diesels. Any comments would be appreciated.

i like dual tandems because theres less tire wear, usualyly higher quality axles and less stuff to break, and they turn better

I agree with the above. You can also option for 2 12k axles with most builders. We have bought a couple from Indian Valley in North Texas. Very nice trailers. No I am not a salesman or connected to them in anyway, just use there trailers and like them.
