i personally like the OBS because...
1) looks 100 times better, definitely with stacks and/or lifted
2) better turbo
3) less emissions (sometimes no cat)
4) love how it drives... actually feels like a truck unlike the superdutys
5) lots of room under the hood since chances are you won't stop with a chip/intake/exhaust (noone ever does)

it's not that they don't feel like a truck.. it's just that they ride much smoother then the OBS... which is normally not so truck-like

If you are taller than average, are you sure you want a single cab?
I'm only 5'8" and hate single cabs.
