Balance that against the thought of a car turning right after you pass because he didn't expect the trailer. I think both options have their downsides.
My wife and I used the rack seats. We liked it because it put them close enough to us that we could talk. One of the big downsides is that it puts a lot of extra weight high up on the bike and it really messed up the handling on my road bike. I had to lower my saddle and raise my handlebars to compensate. The Blackburn Co-Pilot comes with a functional rack (as opposed to several others that have a rack, but that can't be used for anything other than attaching the seat) and is really easy to install.
I only used a rented trailer once. I really liked the stability. The big downsides to me were that the kids were too far away to talk and that it was a lot heavier to haul. Friends that use them really like them for the extra hauling capacity that they have...makes trips to the grocery store via bicycle with the kids possible.
Edit: If you want to try both options, I have a CoPilot seat you can have for the price of shipping, if you're interested. You'll need your own rack, though (I love mine too much to part with it). This is the one the seat fits.
