Steve, don't go with the small V8 if you can help it. The mpg is about the same on the two in real life and the 5.7 will give you more options down the road
I believe the smaller engine also gets you a smaller rear axle size, 9.5" ring gear vs 10.5" with the bigger engine.
FWIW, I also had 2 Tundra Crewmax's with the 5.7 and I agree with everybody else, very good trucks but a little light on payload. I used to tow our TT, ~8,500lbs loaded without issue except being over the GVW of the truck. Tons of power for a gasser and a very nice daily driver when not towing.
