All you guys that say the mileage from gas to diesel isn't all the great have obviously never pulled with both.
My 97, 7.3 would consistently get over 19 mpg. I have NEVER EVER heard of a V10 getting better then 12, empty. Pulling I was getting about 12, and every V10 I have heard of at BEST gets 8 pulling. You go to a 01 02 or 03 7.3, and you should be upwards to 20 mpg all the time.

In this case, I would consider a Cummins. Better torque, and probably better mileage. The plus side is there are lots of aftermarket kits available to drop a Cummins in where the V10 came from.
