Good win for the Duramax. Lowest power numbers on paper, but does really well in "real world" conditions. Really not a bad choice among the three - just "different" personalities. Pick the one you like best, or the one that has a dealer in your area you like and trust. All these things can be more important to people than a second or two time difference in a drag race scenario.
Case in point - my wife's cousin. He drives a 2003 F350 SRW with the 6.0L diesel in it. I bug him all the time about how much cash he has dumped into that thing to keep it running over 180,000 miles. He says he buys Fords because the small town near where he has his ranch has one dealership - a Ford dealership. He hates the thought of driving to the next town 30- 45 min away to get warranty service. Makes perfect sense.
