I think that this is even more true with the Bike FRiday folding rear triangle. Apparently -- I have never used a BOB -- the twisting forces are not resisted so well with the "seat" stays being supported by a quick release.
Anyway, I'm with Nekohime, as stuff and weight increases the trailer is the better bet. While wider, longer and more rolling resistance, it is also easier to pack trailers, IME. Slow speed handling and parking is easier with a trailer as long as you don't have to back up, IME. Trailers do change the handling of a bike somewhat -- most of my trailer riding is with the kiddies making the entire load around 80-90 pounds -- but I adjust in about 30 seconds.
