One big difference I've noticed is my 2015 with the AISIN tends to hunt gears a whole lot, much more than the 68RFE I had previously. You pretty much have to manually select gears when towing. On the plus side, shifts are noticeably more firm and it just feels more solid all around. I haven't got the mileage or use to determine actual durability in any way yet. First and second forward gears are nice and low but, it's a little tall in reverse which can make the tight spots where you're backing uphill kind of tough. Keep in mind my truck is SRW so it's geared a fair bit taller than the DRW versions.
Never have had any issues with mine as far as gear hunting. When I'm out on the road I always use cruise, downshifts automatically if needed to keep speed on hills, which its suppose to do.
Because you are running around 1,700 RPM's at 60. Perfect towing gears, as I said before they are nearly the same as the 3.42's in 5th.
