Manning makes a really nice trailer for the money. Myco is very nice as well but new for new the manning is better priced.

Manning. Priced right, built and delivered on time. They will remember you years after the sale.

Assuming you are going with welded aluminum, pass on the McClain. They come out of the factory great, but they don't wear well over time from what I have seen.

Also be certain to check with Evolution Trailers. NASCAT has had a couple built for his NorTechs, and they do a fair number for that company.

There are pics on NASCAT's build threads, and I also put a post up in the Truck/Trailer forum some time back asking for info.

The brake controller is nicely tucked away in the C- Channel, the battery for the tongue jack as well as a master power switch are all packaged neatly inside the locking toolbox.

I know the industry recognizes a certain welded aluminum trailer manufacturer as the std but one would be foolish not to take a look at what Evolution Trailer Technologies offers. Not just from a pricing standpoint but value, quality, fit, finish, ability to customize and most importantly Customer Service!!

If I was buying new, I'd consider Myco, Manning, & Evolution in no particular order.

Ameratrail builds nice all welded aluminum trailers. Price is quite a bit less than myco. They're gonna build my next trailer in a year or so.

Also look at Broward Trailers. Gorgeous trailers and well built. Worth looking into if you plan to travel long distances. A notch up from MYCO.
