I am on my second open race car trailer (11 years of racing) and I have never had brakes on both axles. No worries in my opinion.

More brakes is better. On the other hand, if you have too much brake on (slick surfaces) you can lock the tires. If you lock one pair, the trailer stays behind you. If you lock all four, the trailer can pass you. I've never had a trailer with brakes on both axles...

Even with brakes only on one axle like Richard says if it gets slick (like when it rains a little after weeks of no rain) my trailer brakes will lock up.

I've got a LoadTrail from Countryside in Houston and I use a load leveler hitch.
I've not hauled a lot with my trailer but I think one part that can make a difference is which brake controller you use.
I'd have to look to see which one I have but I've been really happy with mine.
In addition to a spare tire, some other things to add to your trailer go-box:
Extra ratchet strap
Axle straps
Extra lug nuts
Full set of bearings
Bottle Jack
Breaker bar with lug nut socket
Extra safety clips for the ramp doors
Locking hitch cover

I have not had a problem with single axle brakes so far.
With load leveling bars, I've noticed I can use way more of my truck brakes. I get a lot more pedal before the ABS kicks in - it definitely doesn't stop faster but don't be afraid to use all the brakes (that's the same thing I'm going to tell you about racecars ).

Now that is funny right there. Who would do that? At Hallett?
