any Ford diesel with the 7.3liter powerstroke
I've found that there is not a straight answer for this question, but, some things to think about; Duramax is found in different codes(lb7, lly, ect) the lly 6.6l is my pick it is found in the Chevy 2004.5-2005 it is a v8 and you can get more accesories for this truck and it gets the best milage compared to the other duramax models. i pulled 24mpg out of mine (highway no load) it's a crewcab shortbed. i did alot of research for a rough idle box for heating up in the wintertime. then i found out you can do it on the steering wheel controls it is under elevated idle turn it on and it will do a high idle if the temp is under 30 degrees F the gm service industry has really gone down hill that is something else to consider
the cummins is only a v6 but the have alot of power and i think the transmission is the only thing you have to worry about with a Dodge any dodge over 1500 has a gm 3/4 ton tranny in it (duramax has the Allison transmission very reliable unless you want to race) i preffer a manuall transmission.
powerstroke; my family is religious agaist ford but i don't hear alot of complaints from the motor or the transmission not even the truck itself i do believe my next truck will be a powerstroke
good luck on your deciscion
