Many are discrediting the 6 spd. I am sure that my fuel economy running empty may have been better with a 10 sp. However, here in Michigan, gooseneck towing 16k lbs I never thought I needed another "in between" gear. I am sure somebody has a chart of rpms at speed with 6 gears and with 10 gears. Maybe there would be one speed that I could have dropped rpms. I did most of my 16k lb towing at 55 mph, and did my TT (9400 lbs) at 65.
I also took my TT to Kansas and back in July, but used a Duramax with the 10sp. That allowed me to tow with comfort.
I know that I am biased toward the GM truck.
