New guy question

Howdy guys,
needless to say im new at the whole diesel aspect of life..
I am trying to find the right truck for myself and ever since i was a kid i was in love with the 96ish Power stroke.. i have to admit i am 20.. i currently own a 89 F-350 with a 351M with a C-6 i love this truck but shes gettin up in age and miles approx 320.xxx
i was looking into buying an 96ish 7.3 but i also like the newer trucks but i am a fan of doing a little modification. so my question(s) how are the new 6.7s like mileage wise and trustworthy wise.. then same question with the 6.4s and 7.3s. i mean im good with a wrench but i've always been on gas motors. my first truck i have to admit a 48 Chevy 1/2 ton. and various tractors so guys. Oh ya food for thought truck would be used for pulling a goose neck and possibly plowing but mainly the 89 is for that.. thanks guys sorry for the long post
