You will have less camber issues in rear with IRS... Which translates to better handling...

OK. Roll sideways versus Roll Forward suspension

Do you plan on modifying the IRS? If not, then heck, I would go with the swing axle. Stronger stock for stock. It will work fine for what you plan on doing. On the other hand, if you go IRS, you will open up more doors for future modifications if you are not afraid to put in a little work.
I don't believe there is any right or wrong answer for your question. Both will work. Which one you should choose depends more on whether or not you want to make upgrades for strength and travel in the future.
