Last summer the small difference in price I had to pay between those two choices made it an easy decision. The few times I've had to rent one, their trailers tow very nicely when pulled by a 3/4 ton(+) truck.
edit... just an afterthought
Before hooking up a rental trailer (or tow dolly) double check the tire treads for feathering or uneven wear. This is an indication of poor wheel alignment that will reduce fuel mileage and create troublesome towing, or worse. I've not had a previous problem with their equipment but there's always a first time.
'Borrowed' towing equipment that is seldom inspected or serviced should be checked a little more closely, especially for longer distance use. Losing wheel bearings out in the middle of nowhere (northern mexico) isn't a good thing.
