Is it clear cut that a gooseneck tows that much better than a Tag?
Yessir. Other than the load and weight, you can't tell a gooseneck's behind you. Never any sway, fishtailing, etc. I've got 3 of them, a travel trailer, a flatbed, and a 3 horse slant load. What few RV wrecks I've been unfortunate to come across traveling across the north western states have always been a bumper pull. Plus since you want to be in the 12,000 lb. range, I'd definitely get a gooseneck. Assuming you want a flatbed, the one in my Webshot pics is a 14,000lb. PJ and I've been real happy with it. For the price, I figured it would be real basic, but it came with a lot of extras, dual landing gear, step and grab handle, chain box, radial tires and other goodies.

I would also get a trailer with torsion axles
Nick's right, I have the torsion axle on my horse trailer and besides a good ride it's maintanance free.
