It depends on how much you plan to drive and where you plan to drive.
We know people that go from New England to Florida in the winter and then back in the summer. While at either place they have full hookups. For them a gas unit is good because the cost to buy and maintain is less. Because they only put 2400 miles a year the added gas mileage of the diesel is not worth the cost differential.
For people that are going to live a nomadic life, the diesel may be a better choice. They will have plenty of power when traveling in the mountains, have a quieter ride and all the towing capacity the could ever want.
When buying any MH it really depends on how you intend to use it. Class A vrs Class C vrs Gas vrs Diesel vrs short vrs long and so on.
