This is purely personal opinion, and a fair amount will disagree.
I prefer diesel. the 6.0 to be specific. Lots more power, especially if you're pulling a TT, you have engine braking as well. 150k is kind of high on a gasser as well, do you really want to spend that much on a truck that will give you 50k miles? For some I know it's a lot, but for me that's 2 years, doesn't really seem worth it to me.
On the plus side, all weather mats are awesome. I have them and they really save the interior from a world of abuse. The front guard is nice too. Still, I'd sacrifice both of these for a diesel, so that I know the engine will outlast the rest of the body.
