6.8 vs. 6.0 (gasser)
Since we have a post on 5.3 vs. 5.4, I thought it would be fun to see how you guys feel about the Ford 6.8 V10 (man that's a bunch of piston's ain't it!) vs. Chevy's 6.0 V8.
So...which do you think is the better engine and WHY?
Consider these very diverse driving styles when constructing your answers:
Commuting
Towing (such as for work, everyday)
Recreational Towing (just every now and again, weekends, etc).
Let me know what you think.

Commute-6.0 why? better gas milage, probably smoother too
Towing,Hauling/work--tossup why? while the 6.8 will haul/tow more, the 6.0 would pull most things & get better milage. but i prefer the Ford body so i would probably choose the v-10
Fun stuff--close one why? the ford body comes into play again for me, but the cheby would make an alright fun puller.
V-10 more power also.
Personally i wouldn't buy either one, i would go for the diesel if i had the $$$$$$
But i have heard reports that the 6.0 isn't as powerfull as some think, but it is alright.

On a side note, GM actually downgraded the ratings for the 8.1L. The 2004 Sales book from Chevy now lists the 8.1L to be rated at 330hp/450lb-ft.. Not sure why.
