Please do a search for this subject first. You will read for a couple of hours and still have questions because there is no right answer.

Totally comes down to personal preference.
Enclosed Cargo trailers are the best way to go but also the most costly. In this set up you can completely protect your ride and have a garage to protect, conceal and repair it.
Flat deck trailers will prevent any wear and tear damage on your drive train but leave it exposed to road grime and places it on display for possable break-in, because anyone who has ever towed a vehicle know you can't set an alarm on it.
Car dollies are the cheapest option but leaves open the road to quite a few unforeseen tragedies.
So, it's up to you to define the parameters you want to adhere to.
Like mbridinger says "Do a tonne of reading" and you probably get stuck with more questions than you will ever find answers to, this is a matter of personal preference.
Good luck and happy travels.

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!
I would spend some time over in the Toads & Motorhome Towing area of the forum. Just post specific questions there for the best results. Keep her between the ditches!
Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

Most 32 Vistas I saw have a max tow of 5000lbs. That would include vehicle, dolly/trailer (if used) and any "stuff" you put in the car. You also need to keep your Vista under its rating to get the full tow rating.

Have you already ruled out towing 4 down?
Just my opinion but seems any trailer will add unnecessary wt that will likely affect your Vista performance.
