I personally believe the 6.8 should be the only gas offering in a HD Ford pick up! Not because I own one, but because it was bulletproof, got decent mileage for what it is! And most of all you get great performance without the possibility of a $10k fuel system repair!!!
I've never driven either of those engines, so I can't speak from personal experience...
I have never read a thread about the V10 having any problems. They seem to be great engines with tons of power that just like to work. They like to drink, but that's the price of playing poker.
The 6.2 seems to be a really good engine too. Its more fuel efficient and makes good power numbers. When I was looking to buy my current truck, I was looking at Ford and Ram gas engine trucks. The 6.2 was highly rated by those that owned them. I know the diesel is the more popular engine, especially in towing forums, but the 6.2 gas engine seems plenty stout. Buying new, you can buy a LOT of gas for that $6000 diesel upgrade price!
I lucked out and found a used 2015 Cummins for about what I was looking to pay for a new gas, or else I could very easily be talking about my new Ford 6.2 truck!
