For the years you're considering, I'd probably hope to find a nice F350 dually diesel, but if I found a GM first, that would be just fine. I'm not partial to Dodge due to their cars from YEARS ago, but I'd probably go against my prejudice if I found the right one at the right price. I certainly wouldn't mind the the engine, and I honestly don't think there's much difference among the big three. I'd be looking for low miles and something highway driven.
FWIW, my last pickup was a 2000 F250 diesel that I drove for 15 years. After about 13 years and 120K miles, it did start giving me a few mechanical problems, and at the end, with 150K miles on it, I finally traded it off due to several mechanical problems. (I was driving it 30K miles per year at that point, and it was "nickel and diming" me into the poor house!) Overall, however, I did like it. I miss it!
