Default Trailer options for the Vette

I am finally ready to purchase a car trailer for my C5. I have read and looked at so many trailers. What does everyone else use? I like the idea of a 16' with a 4' dovetail. My car is lowered on pfadt suspension. So here are my question

Flatbed or tiltbed?
Wood or metal deck?
Drop exile or no drop?
Also any preference on brand?

I have absolutely zero experience on the subject, but one thing I can tell you - if I won the lotto, this would be my second purchase behind a tow pig:

I have an 18' flatbed with 2' dovetail and 3' extended ramps (8' total ramp length). I really like using a tilt trailer 17-20' as it seemed to load lowered vettes better.
