The Ram has three engine outputs and it varies by transmission choice, not trim level or 2500/3500. The manual transmission gets the least power, something like 350/650. The 68RFE is the standard 6 speed auto and it gets 370/800. The Aisin is a medium duty 6 speed auto and it gets 385/900. I believe the Aisin upgrade runs about $3000.
Most, including myself, have the 68RFE. The Aisin is worth it if you're towing heavy or (imo) if you are planning on a performance tune to make the truck run faster. Of the three diesels the stock Cummins is the slowest off the line, but once you get up in speed a little bit the torque management backs off and the Cummins will run with the others. If that bothers you I'd plan on a tuner or buy one of the others.
