Post #27 brings up some issues that are additional considerations too. Another one is high center of gravity on the trailer, and is why trailers made out of the back half of an old pickup truck are very dangerous. Especially if the shocks are shot...
My personal preference is always to have every advantage I can get.

But really if you get a bumper pull set up that can handle 10k might as well cover all your uses for it. Kinda like buying the fiver hitch than maxes out your truck's specs. You might not 'need' it now but easily could in the future. And if you happen to be able to afford it, it Does make life easier.

Link to some interesting perspective on choosing a truck and a trailer...Some of the info is old, but informative nonetheless.
