Remember, when you are on the water, where you care about your boat, the trailer is parked somewhere and is not part of the equation.

The 2nd best type of trailer would be one that has a powder coated finish. This finish is nearly indestructible but always looks very nice.

Good luck
Can't say it any better. I have a 23' boat that is from 1993 with a galvanized trailer. Looks just like the day we bought it. Not good, not bad. Have any other painted steel trailer like that. My 21' skeeter is painted. That trailer I won't let see a salt road.
