I agree with the guy that said the axles are too far forward on the 2nd trailer.
The 1000# coupler won't give you an 8K GVWR. Since your axles have a combined 7K rating that's what most manufacturers would rate their trailers at. Some will add 10% to their capacity because of the 10% tongue weight. So you're looking at 7K or maybe 7700 GVWR. I also think you're under estimating the curb weight of the trailer.
No one trailer type is perfect. Of the types you pictured, #3 is the most useful. I prefer to not have a beaver tail. I'd rather have the entire deck be usable. All a beaver tail is, is a partial ramp that's stationary. Since you're using aluminum I'd recommend a flat deck and longer ramps.
Size.....18-20' would be nice, but you're using those light duty axles. I think that limits you to 16-18' max.
