Diesels get better gas mileage- a company I worked for during one summer in high school (2 years ago) had 2 new Silverado HD 6.0 (gas) engines that got about 12mpg at best, and one 6.6L Duramax (diesel) that would get 20ish mpg on the highway, stock. The trucks were all base model other than that, 4x4 autos.
Oh, and the diesels pulled WAAAYYYY better than the gas engine. And if you do some research on diesels, you'll find that a tuner can produce anywhere from a 150hp increase (handheld/plug-in) to a 250hp increase (custom tunes) over stock, which makes for an extremely badass truck lol. IMO, Diesel>Gas (if price is equal)
