Unfortunately Ford doesn't make a big V8 gas motor anymore. A 5.4 is hardly Big in my eyes and the V10 is the same motor with 2 more cylinder and drinks fuel like crazy.

It really depends. If you will be doing a lot of long distance driving and towing, the diesel is handsdown the way to go. If you will be mainly driving short distances and won't rack up the miles, I would go with the gasser. The 5.4 is not enough for the F250 in my opinion.
