The great thing about trailex is they are so easy to sell. I started out with one ~15 yrs ago and when it was time to sell, took about 24 hrs and about $500 less than I paid new. Not the best aluminum trailer, IMO, but hands down the cheapest to own!

I realize 'best' is subjective: Trailex is the lightest out there, highly adjustable, and as discussed incredibly easy to unload when you're done with it. However when you look at one of the welded AL trailers, mainly Featherlite, but also something like Tommy's, they are in a different league: heavier gauge aluminum, bigger wheels with commensurate wheel bearing and tire/wheel sizes, stronger tongues. They don't squeak and flex over every bump. etc etc.
Don't get me wrong, the trailex enabled me to tow my 2500lb 911 behind a VW Eurovan for 4-5 years and it worked great where a welded trailer wouldn't. But if I hadn't needed an 'ultralight' setup, I would've much preferred the solid, more substantial construction of a Featherlite.
Edit: just visited the Trailex site which I haven't been to in a long time. Turns out they now make a welded trailer as well. Many of my objections pertain mostly to the design of the Trailex bolted trailers which use aluminum extrusions and jam nuts to bolt the whole thing together like an erector set. Great design for the ultra-light trailer but anything over 4K lbs I'd rather have welded.

Everything is relative. If you are looking for the lightest possible trailer that has an open floor, the Trailex is best - BUT, for a lot less money and only 200 lbs more weight the Featherlite, Aluma, etc. aluminum trailers are are good deals too. Problem is that you will ultimately want a tire rack , cargo box, gas can holders, etc. which will add weight and cost.
