No, I don`t think there`s any particular reason to prefer Trixie over
Bookworm if Bookworm works for you. Support for Debian "oldstable" is
usually pretty good from Debian (though I think the Raspberry Pi people
tend to concentrate on "stable", which would be Trixie at present).
Some third-party software works well with the RaspiOS that is current
when it is released, and may only slowly (if ever) be updated for newer
releases -- I`m thinking of support for some of Pimoroni`s devices.
OTOH things like the Pi camera software is intended for "stable", and
newer features/cameras may not work at all with older distros.

I`m not aware of any major differences in video support between distros.
There IS a difference in hardware video support between Pi4 and Pi5 (I
forget the details ... Pi4 has support for H.264 (and H.265?) but Pi5 -
being much faster - expects you to do it in software? Something like
that.). Of course, with a Pi5 you need a release that supports the Pi5,
and I think Bookworm is the minimum.
