If the trailer is set up correctly the hitch load should be very low but I would def go for a braked trailer but a 2 or 4 wheel would depend on the
weight but a 4 wheel would give more flexability to use it for other things.

i would always go for a twin axle trailer, if you get a blow out on a two wheel trailer you could do a lot of damage to your pride and joy- with a
twin axle you're more likely not to notice and to successfully continue on to your destination. Also remember to check out your insurance for
whilst the car is in transit on a trailer..

Having fiddled about with various configuration of trailer in recent years, you definitely want a twin axle job with a low bed height and a tilt
facility.
I no longer own one, but the one I borrow has all of this and tows like a dream. The super low bed means that I can load a locost or the GTM (when I
had it) on with no ramps.
Basically - you're looking for a Brian James clubman or similar.

we've always hired a brian james tipping trailer, clubman iirc, as zil said. from indespension in leeds, they're £35 for the day. not bad
to say you're hiring about £1800 worth of trailer.
the bed has a decent amount of holes for fastening ratchet straps to, at just about the right points for a 7 wheelbase. we've brought a mk2 cav
back over the pennines on one too. the folding mudguard on the drivers door side is handy so you can actually get in and out of tin tops too, though
less important if it's only for 7s.
go for a webbing strap winch over cable anytime too.
