Having towed bumper pull and gooseneck, I prefer the gooseneck. If you have a turnover ball you still have use of the bed.

My last truck had a bed slide and a GN ball.

Yeah when trailer not hooked to the truck. When I said loss of use of bed I ment when pulling trailer. With a bumper pull you can fill the truck and trailer with scrap. I dont think I would want to put a washer in the bed of a truck with a gooseneck hooked up and have to take a corner and send said washer threw my back window.

Would a bumper pull take up 16' as a gooseneck take up 18' or something?

And which one would be better on an inclined driveway while not attached to a truck?

First of all when talking trialer lengths. They are usualy talking about the length of the bed of the trailer. Not tongue to tail. Or hitch to tail in case of gooseneck. So on average a gooseneck trailer will be ruffly 3 feet longer in the same size trailer.
