Default ASK 21 in Cobra trailer single or double axle?

1 axle is better IMHO because:

You don't need 2 axles for load bearing
2 axles = 2x the tires to worry about
2 axle rigs tend to push the tow vehicle around a bit more and can
have funky ride dynamics - especially for small vehicles - at least in
my antiquated experience
2 axle rigs are a bit tougher to push around by hand
You generally have to pay for a second axle
