Live hydraulics and power steering are definitely nice things to have on a loader. You can add them (at a cost) to an H or M. If you are planning on heavy lifting an H might be too light, but if you are just planning on lifting less than 1000 lbs, the H should work.

A 460 or 560 Diesel will probably run as economically as anything on fuel, but unless you have grown up or have a fondness for diesels, you might be better of staying with a gas (and NOT a 560 gas either). The problem with the 460-560 is that they are long and not quite as handy as the H, M, 300/350 or 400/450 tractors.

The 300/350 (enhanced H) or 400/450 (enhanced M) tractors are probably the best all around option for a loader but the initial outlay might be higher than for an M or H. Personally, I have an M (with live hydraulics, power steering and wide front with oversized rear tires) that is a very useful and handy rig in my opinion. It will lift large round bales up to about 1500 lbs and stay reasonably stable while doing it.
