With those size quads you can grab a 10 foot side load trailer and be very happy.
The problem with rear load only is you either need a longer trailer (to fit them nose to tail) or you'll need to hop on the deck and manually lift/shift your quad to sideways after loading it front ways.
I highly, highly recommend tire straps. They have been game changing for me. I hated strapping in the quads. Took forever, had to compress the suspension, paranoid the whole time I was driving, because if you hit a bump and your suspension compresses a little, it can shift the quad and you can imagine how that would turn out.
These things https://www.amazon.com/Erickson-09160-Wheel-Chock-Tie-Down/dp/B015CJICIK (yeah yeah I know, /r/hailcoprorate) are the shit. I drive on, ratchet the tires down (I use two for each quad on Front Left / Rear Right tires) and leave. Literally done with two quads in < 5 minutes by myself. And for $40 per quad.
Others have said and I'll add, your dealer was an idiot with the handlebar tie down advice. If you need to strap the anything other then the tires, strap the frame. And have someone sit on the front when you do the front, then the back when you do the back. Get the suspension compressed down.
As far as trailers, side load + rear load is ideal. Best case you can get one with tires under the flat deck so you can load from any angle and any location, but they're pricey and (imo) they look ugly for some reason to me. I have two quads and this trailer gives me the ability to load 3 if I need to, pretty happy with it. The ramps tuck under the deck (came with it) and are easy to tuck away quick and pull out and move around.

(I didn't buy it from there, that's just the first thing that came up when I googled the trailer).
I was also seriously looking at a Echo trailer (http://echotrailers.com/EE-9-13-Elite.html, the 14 foot version) but couldn't find one in stock. Steel vs Wood is a tossup of Pros and Cons, but I really wanted a 14 foot trailer damnit. I also like some of the options the trailer has (built in ratchet straps as an option, etc...).
Try and stick with 15 inch tires if you can.
I literally just did a shit ton of research on this to make my last purchase, so feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any questions you can't get answers to.
Marlon, Triton and Aluma trailers are also good - more pricey though as they are aluminum. But your buying some significant weight savings in the trailer, so food for thought.
