Has some good discussion on the pros and cons of each engine, strictly from a performance perspective.
Looks like the 7.3 has more power down low, at sub-2000 rpm. Hard to beat displacement when it comes to the very low end power output - case in point, the GM/PSI 8.8 big block has nearly 500 lb-ft at 1000 rpm!
Which one works better in the long run, in terms of reliability and overall operating cost is yet to be seen. No doubt the L8T is a technologically more advanced engine.
