Thought I'd chip in my two cents:
1
Definitely agree with other posters about getting disk brakes if you will tow on a regular basis - there is no comparison.
2
I have been happy with the ramlin trailer I have, only issue is the low clearance under the prop guard can bottom out the trailer while backing up in inclines or if there is a lip or uneven surface. Hence my next trailer I will definitely get the the castors/rollers installed on the prop guard to deal with this. On the other hand, the ramlin having a lower profile means I don't need to drop the trailer in as deep to launch, which at some ramps is an advantage.
3
For a 196, I'd get a single axle given they are much easier to manuever into tight spots, and are easier to maintain (1 set of bearings/seals/brakes to deal with instead of 2).
I tow my supersport all over with a single axle without issue (upwards of 6 hr drives from MA to upstate NY). Thought I wonder if the dual axle would reduce the "disturbing" squeeking noise those rubber torsion springs on the axle make when you go over large bumps or pot holes. I asked the tech guy at NECC about the noise and his response to fix it was: "turn up the radio" :grin:
