I moved down to an F150 ecoboost from a Superduty last year. Not pulling the big trailer anymore so I didn't need the pulling power of the diesel.
So far I like the truck a lot. Nice ride very quiet. Nice change from the diesel. Overall average mileage since I bought it is 15.6 ltr/100km. Which translates to about 18.5 mpg. Mine is left stock but many guys do the intake and carnal exhaust mods. If you use a tune it will leave a finger print and Ford will know and void warranty. I find the power is adequate as is.
I would say test drive 5.0 and ecoboost and pick the one you like.
Good luck.
