Shopping for a trailer can get a bit stressfull. Frame size, length, cargo or barn doors, smooth sides, aluminum or galvanized roof, ceiling, walls etc 16 or 24 oc.
I am trying to avoid ordering what I want
Take your time deciding, you'll understand more once you design your layout. Walk around in a few cargo trailers if you have a dealer close by just to get some ideas of how things will affect your decisions.
Here's an example. I have a stocking dealer close by. I thought a 6"3" ceiling would be tall enough. After walking thru a couple of trailers I knew I needed at least 6 more inches of height. At the same time I was able to look at the differences between three different builders/manufacturers, and what each considered a "standard item vs optional". It also allowed be to get a sales sheet on each builder with a list of some of the more common "optional upgrades".
I added 6" in height, spare tire, extended tongue, window, upsized entrance door, spare tire mount, upgraded rear ramp, etc. I was able to see a similar equipped unit on the dealers lot..
