Good points.
I've found that the 7' wide trailers are cheaper, I just get longer trailers. I've run 7x18 before, it pulled like a dream. Interior was 6'6" which is good only for stock height carts. They make them 7', and 7'6" for side by sides.
8' and 8.5' wide trailers are nice if you need the room to walk around the machines a lot. If you use the trailer for tools and supplies, the extra space is nice for shelves. Beyond that, the extra space really isn't needed.
If I was in your position, and the trailer was just to be used for transport and storing maybe 3 carts....I'd go 7x18 tandem with 7'6" height. At the moment, the market is really high on trailers because of raw steel and aluminum being high, as well as availability of raw metals being low. Going to run you about $7k - $8k depending upon the market in your area.
