The 5.2 motor would be better if you are going to get the earlier Grand. I towed mine on an open trailer with my 94 un til 3 years ago when we bought the Suburban. The 5.2 has plenty of pulling power just remember to shut off the overdrive when you're going up big hills. If you are going to be stuffing evertything you can in the rear as well, swap out the rear springs for a set if o.e. ones for the up country package. Those are heavy and will allow you to not need a set of air bags in the standard springs.
