Question Opinions Wanted

Hey everyone, I'm looking at getting a work-dedicated truck (contractor) and have owned neither a Ford or a diesel, but in my brief searching around, it appears the consensus is that the Ford 7.3L Powerstroke has a great reputation. I'd love to get input from any and all of you such as:
1) Diesel vs gas (beyond diesel is more expensive, please!)
2) Pros and Cons of the diesel, specifically the 7.3L PS
3) Common issues?
4) Any cost-conscious guys out there have an average annual maintenance cost?
5) Longevity? I've seen a lot of hype about these motors lasting 1,000,000 miles
6) General opinions?

Thank you for taking the time to help me make an smart decision, your feedback is appreciated.
