I think given an open choice it would be a 110 TDi, the extra wheelbase makes a difference with stability and the weight is certainly there, as is the grunt, but Joe was asking "given the choice between X & Y, which would you choose?", if I understand him correctly.
My personal choice for towing BIG things is my LSE, it has the same weight capacity as a 110, the same wheelbase but it has more weight on the back end when empty which is important.
It's also got a hoofin' big V8 on LPG, uprated suspension with a monster rear ARB, that and the 108" wheelbase make it very stable, plus it has cruise.

See although it may have a V8 and an auto box to help the towing i know that i wouldnt half miss the extendable mirrors fitted to defenders!!!

Ahh right, didnt know the LSE's were longer, i was thinking of them ones modified by some gun manufacturer or other that are extended wheelbse.
I didnt quite get the first link? Defender mirrors fold out to increase in width, very very usefull with wide trailers.
