It sounds like this will be your first trailer? If that's so I would be looking for a used trailer where you don't invest much into, something like an Outback 21rs. You could get one in the range of 2009-2012 for about $8000. Gvwr on these is around 5,500 lbs. There are other similar trailers.

I'd plan on keeping it for one full season to gain experience. By the next season you would have a much better understanding of what you want and have gained valuable experience towing.
Also on another note, it seems to me your towing expectations are a little high. Imho, I wouldn't be planning on towing something at my max capacity. You always want to give yourself some wiggle room. When you start loading everything you want to bring you'll find it's a lot more than you thought and you'll end up over.
Good Luck whatever you decide.
