All methods have pro's and cons and compromises.
Trailers - two wheels fine for tarmac but much less so for off road.
single wheel fine for both though less (enough?) haulage space.
Don't underestimate the effect of a headwind on your mileage/effort.
I guess the off road thing makes sense. I suppose if your route had a mix of gravel and road a trailer might be impractical.
Is a trailer any worse than huge panniers in the wind? In my head it would seem easier but maybe the logic is flawed?
