Do your research.
Modern diesels are not the ol' tractor engines of years ago. These new diesels are high output, high strung, engines, with pollution controls up the ying-yang. From what I have personally experienced and seen/heard from others, they have about the same reliability as a gas engine.
Of course, if you 900ft-lbs well, you gotta go with a diesel.
