I went through the same thing about 8 months ago. I dont tow very often, but I prefer to overengineer stuff than to just "get by", so I ended up getting a 2500 Ram diesel and its been great. It drives around town like a gas truck and tows a 20 ft enclosed car trailer with a car no problem.
The fuel mileage vs the fuel price makes that aspect a wash in my book.
We just towed a 20 ft boat with my friend gas Expedition....it could do it, but it didnt do it very well and the diesel will tolerate being "abused" way better than a gas truck.
This is my first diesel and I'm pretty happy that I did.....
