Well, I recently struggled with the exact same decision. I too am just a part timer and in the end I purchased a 14K dump trailer. I haul a mini excavator around and so will always need a trailer.
Yes in the perfect world I would probably get a cab over, however I'm just starting out and in effect, boot strapping myself and my business. I figured that even if I get a cab over, I will still need a regular truck for daily chores, driving, family, etc and so with a dump trailer I can be setup for a minimal total investment.
I still drool at all the sweet cab overs that I see and hope to one day get one. Until then I'll make do with my extra-cab, 4x4, F350 Dually and dump trailer. Actually, if all goes well, I hope to buy a Spyder Excavator in the next couple of years and so the cab over idea may have to be swapped for something bigger to haul it around.
