Don't be afraid of the gasser. It has it's benefits also. Compare horsepower to horsepower, that is what you use.
The 3.73 to 4.10 is going to be noticed at highway speed.

Diesel's make their horsepower lower in the rpm range.
I'd hope the diesel is worth more at resale, they cost around $10k additional.
I pulled a gooseneck trailer loaded with almost 14k # and a GMC 1 ton SRW and the 6.0 gasser and moved down the road at 70 mph easy, though it wasn't in 6th gear, but 5th.
