I have even recently seen Adv. Trains with Outcast ID & IFF smuggling Cardamine and Slaves.
Most Smugglers seem to use the Pirate train, not 5k cargo though.
You can smuggle in pretty much any ship so long as your ID allows it. But think about it in roleplay, what's more likely to be caught? A huge, slow max size transport, or a small, nimble transport? Smuggling is more about the roleplay than the credits, I think. So go with a ship that suits your roleplay, not just the one that will earn you the most credits the fastest.

There are meta gaming answers. This is the Disco answer!
I've done all my smuggling in a freighter.
