I'd have to vote for the bunk trailers. I find it much easier to load the boat compared to my old roller model. The Loadmaster trailer's bunks (as I'm sure are other brands) are positioned with about 1/2" of play (semi custom) so if you get the bow between the bunks the boat rides on the trailer perfectly every time. I've loaded the boat in just about every situation and the only problem I've had is on very steep ramps where I've had to pull the truck forward a bit so the stern isn't floating, because if it is, the winch handle hits the bow. You can hit the bunks at just about any angle and they will guide the boat and straighten it out. Not much can go wrong with a 3x10 and a little carpet. Also the Loadmaster has a Turbo Lube oil bath hub which requires an oil change after 50,000 miles. No worries about the bearings as there is a see through oil cap.
