Best bet is test drive them and decide which one suits you best.

One other thing. Are you going to tow a fifth wheel? If you are then stay away from GM. A friend of mine ( a mechanic) got a 03 duramax. Hooked on to his fifth wheel. Went about 3000 miles. He got home and his front tires was shot. He didn't know this but when you have a fifth wheel on the d max you have to change the camber because of the extra weight. Then change it back when done towing. He said he wishes he had my ford with the straight front axle.

What do you intend to tow? I was looking at GMCs but found that their 3500 had the same GVW as my Ford 250 and the the 350s/3500s didn't even compare.
