V8 FTW!!
With a good tune, you'll get better if not the same gas mileage. Plus IMO the LS motor just flat out runs better than the V6.
I had my V6 in the truck from 21k to 100k miles. It wasn't too bad.
I swapped in the 5.3L a few months ago, it's not near as hesitant to get up to speed, there is less strain while driving around.
Go the V8 route, just put a tune on it. That's more than enough and you wont regret it later on down the road.

Please don't make the same mistake all us V6 guys already made.....go V8. My RCSB is too much for the 4.3/auto. You'll get tired of driving it on the highway really quick
I got this truck after DDing a mild 5.0/5 speed fox GT and it took a while to get used to.
