So far, so good but I haven't had it long. From all I've heard or experienced, the I.H. 6.9 diesel that Ford first used was the best diesel they ever had. I'm surprised you've heard otherwise, since I've never heard anything bad about the engine. Not the most powerful, but very reliable, easy to work on, and fuel efficient. Also doesn't usually have the cavatation problems the later 7.3s have. I just bought a brand new waterpump for the 6.9 (not rebuilt) for $55! Price a waterpump for one of the new diesels, like the 6.0 and it's around $300.
I was working for a John Deere dealer when the first Fords with I.H. diesels came out (83 I think). We bought a couple of them for service trucks. Engines were fantastic. I know of a couple of people that had 6.9s with well over 300K on them, and only got rid of the trucks because they were rusted to death.
I've heard lots of bad things about the Chevy/GMC 6.2s, but most of it is hogwash. I've got three on the road and one that's a farm/plow truck. I've never had a single engine problem. The one with 450,000 miles is starting to use oil, but still runs like a clock. I hope the I.H. 6.9 does as well.
