Much depends on your ability to work on diesels, or at least know someone that does.
I like having diesels because: #1 they are more fuel efficient, #2 diesel fuel can can sit for years and not go bad like gas, #3 off-road fuel is usually cheaper then gasoline.
Downsides are:
#1 they are not simple as some people claim. Diesels have ignition systems and fuel induction systems basically built into one unit, unlike a gas engine that spreads it out with a distributor, coil, carburetor, fuel pump, spark plugs, wires, etc. Also, few people have the correct tools to work on them. How many people do you know own a diesel timing light? An injector tester? A stanadyne timing window? So, as I see it - unless you know how to work on the fuel inejection pump and/or injectors, it's not simple. That is, unless you call sending out components to get fixed elsewhere for a high price, "simple." #2 Cold weather starting. It takes planning, and often a good block heater and winterized fuel. #3 The need of a big, or dual batteries.
