Axle down angles

I'm going to be purchasing two new axle assemblies for my 1967 Tradewind very soon. Everything I know and everything I am confused about I learned here on the forum. What is the 'down angle' that should be specified? I have read anywhere from 20.5 to 45 degrees. I think I read that Airstream was originally 22.5 degrees but then I read that it would be better to have them at 32 to 35 degrees to accommodate the higher ride height of today's vehicles. Will all the angles ride the same the only difference being the height of the trailer? Does the axle rating change in relation to angle?
