I have a UWS black low profile tool box (well, actually rebranded by H&H) on my truck and love it! Not only does it look great, it is always useful for me to store tools, tie down straps, folding chairs, or whatever a particular occasion calls for.
Here's another pic from slightly above:

I definitely think the low profile is the way to go, as the normal profile sits really high.

I like it as well. It looks good and is very functional for my needs. I keep all kinds of stuff in it. I believe I paid like $370 after taxes and everything for it installed. They can be had on craigslist around here sometimes for a good price too.

The 72" one would go right to the outside edge of that outside ridge of the bed rail cap (if that makes sense), which seems like box and lid especially would be wider than the cab.
Regardless, I'm very happy that the shop recommended the 69" and hope this helps you with your decision. Maybe if you have a local distributor, you can have them test fit both sizes to see which you'd rather have.

I got your PM but can't add a pic to the reply, so I'm posting in here for you. I went out and measured the width of mine bc I couldn't remember whether it was the 69" or 72". Mine is 69" wide (not including the lid closed). This makes the box sit on the bed rails right in the middle on each side. The 72" will extend the full width of the bed rail. When I went to look at them in the store, I thought I needed the 72" from looking online, but the store fitment guide said the 69" so I went with it and am happy I did. I don't think I'd like it as much if it was any wider bc I believe the ends of the box would be wider than the actual cab. Here are a couple pics:
