The 2006 will have more power without a doubt, but it is not a true crew cab.
DEF started in 2013. I wouldn't be afraid of it. AGCO and CNH have been using it for a few years with no issues. Deere is now using it too. If you have a particulate filter, you are going to burn extra diesel, so six of one, half dozen of the other.
I am going to go look at a '14 3500 Laramie on Saturday. I have been shopping for the past few weeks.
About transmissions. I have an '01 with 247,000+ miles. It is an auto quad cab 2500 2wd. Never have had a transmission issue. It has run great. Now, it sucks with the 3.55 pulling a 28' gooseneck with a load up a hill, but it can do it.
The problem with the new G56 and the dual mass flywheel. The flywheel starts to let loose around 100k. They have been replacing the DMF with a single mass and have a kit.
The autos have had tremendous results with the 68rfe and the Aisin. The Aisin is a $3000 option though on the 3500. There was demand from the cab and chassis envy to get this in the 3500. Biggest difference is the Aisin has PTO option, you probably don't need.
Axle ratios, most invoices I have seen upgrade you from 3.42 to a 3.73 and 4.10 is optional. I'm going with the 3.73.
I've done a bit of research on the forums, so if you have questions, email is open.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
