Mounting higher up massively impacts how the big sways side to side - a low attachment point means the trailer doesn't sway with the bike, this is especially tru for chariots and the like that dont tilt at all. The effective CG impact on your bike is low. The high attachment puts everything up, and makes many things harder. But it's also superior in many ways.
I pedal with both kinds regularly... Its all a tradeoff. You can also make the CG much much worse, if you feel like it.
