John, The 2014 and newer (1500 series)GMs have a different cylinder deactivation strategy than the earlier ones regarding the excessive oil consumption. The new V6 (2014+) you are looking at has plenty of power for daily driving. It also has cylinder deactivation. You need to make sure you run the recommended viscosity.
I would avoid the Hemi for 2 reasons. 1. They love fuel 2. They dont have all the bugs worked out of the 8 speed. Shifting calibrations are so so. The 5.7 Hemi will put more.
Stepping up to the 5.3L is an additional cost just for the potential to use it once a year. Financially, I would say no. But who doesnt like a little extra power now and then.
The 6.0L is not available in a 1500 series pickup. Only in the 2500/3500. No cylinder deactivation. Mileage is in the 12-14mpg for most people.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
