Have a 7.3, 6.0 and a 6.4. Can't say anything bad about any of them. I will say the 7.3 is a little short on ponies comparatively speaking but a good motor none the less. Just keep a cps in the glovebox

with a 1997 depending on gearing you arent able to tow anymore or only slightly more than newer half tons. Just something to think about.
