My only experience in towing enclosed trailers with a half ton chevy is with a friend. He has a nice worthington 4 place enclosed it is a deck over with little tires and is only 5 1/2' tall it has the long v-nose. When we used to race snocross he would only haul 2 sleds. While the truck did ok on the flats, when we would start to get in the hills I would swear when the trans would down shift it was going to come out of the truck. It would go from loping along to almost red lining the engine. He had air bags and a chip in it and while it would haul it I never felt comfotable. I hitched my 4 place featherlite to it and it was scary how poorly that truck handled it with 4 sleds in it. Needless to say he upgraded trucks after one year with that trailer to a 2500 with a deisel.
We usually pulled our featherite which is not lite with a deisel excursion with weight distribution and a anti sway bar. It made a huge differnce.
I know tow with a 2011 f-350 deisel, my buddys still has his worthington and you dont even know its there, I still have the featherlite and you can tell its there more than his trailer but the truck pulls it like nothing is there.
While I believe a flat nose trailer is the best in the wind, if you want a v-nose the longer or sharper the better. Also if you can get one with a nose that is also sloped down it goes along way. THe trailer I like to tow bst from my fleet is a 28" enclosed all aluminum car hauler.
It all comes down to what you can afford and still being safe. Remember if your hauling four sleds you are probably hauling 3 more people in your truck, thier saftey is most important. If you lived closer I would gladly let you pull my trailer loaded.
Check out Sno-Pro trailers, they have some nice reasonably priced light weight trailers.
Good luck in your search, and post some pics of your rig when you get one.
