Trailing Arms or 4-Link?

I'm converting a 4x4 Blazer Frame over to 2wd, and I am asking for anyone's input as to whether I should incorporate the original style rear susp. with the trailing arms or use a 4-link setup, and if 4-link should I use a parallel bar set-up or a triangulated 4-link? What are the pro's and con's of each?

Just to give some info, it will be driven almost daily and bagged, but not a frame scraper just nice and low. I will probably won't race it too much but I do like to show off from time to time.
