I've had both types also. UnLoading with a roller is easier but going solo makes where you almost can't drive it on because with no one to attach the cable it might roll back in water, depends on steepness of ramp. In that case solo would have to line it on with bow rope and maybe have to get in water. I've already climbed out the hatch and climbed onto trailer when I was by myself with my bunk trailer. Maintenance is more of an issue, replaced rotten bunks and carpeting along with metal plates they attached to. How about what is best for boat in underneath support On an older boat 1990 Thompson does the support matter with supporting the stringers etc better

I was always a roller trailer guy until an experience at the boat launch at Olcott one spring. Launching a 210 Thompson with a roller trailer we found ourselves in a three ring circus. What happened upon trying to launch was backing down over water as one usually does. Upon loosening the winch cable/rope the boat wanted to roll but the emergency chain was still on so first had to remove that. Had to winch the boat up somewhat to relieve pressure but to relieve enough pressure had to pull boat up ramp somewhat to do that. There was a person on the trailer at the winch with a separate rope to the boat eye. Once pressure was relieved next was to release the main cable/line to boat. But as soon as that was removed the boat took off and could not control the decent with the attached rope to boat. I saw what was happening as the driver and tried to quickly back the boat down the ramp. It splashed into the water. Only problem upon take out discovered part of the skeg broke off the IO. I guess in hindsight the boat had to be backed further down the ramp over water but the problem with that one would have needed waders as the water was too deep to stand on the trailer at the winch. Been hesitant to like roller trailers since. Think the problem only occurs with steep boat ramps. I have a 210 Thompson also with a bunk trailer I like because when launching it stays put until over water. Floats off easily and drives on easily without worrying rolling off trailer when pulling out of water. Anyone else have a tree stooges experience?
