If you are thinking about the short bed and get the smaller fuel tank, it will be annoying if you get the gasoline engine since your range will be reduced (plan on the largest tank for a gasoline engine). I think your load out east can be handled by gasoline or diesel but if you plan to travel west often, you will wish you had the diesel if you frequent thinner air.
I just went through a truck upgrade and was considering switching to gasoline from my previous diesel truck, but there were too many limitations for my use to make the switch (GCWR and fuel range). I was looking at the Ford F550 and Ram 5500 and chose the latter, but both brands were competitive.
