You don't say if you are looking new or used. The Ford problems were primarily with the 2003-2004 6.0 diesels. Although I had an '04 F250 6.0 that I never had any problems with. I traded it for an '07 F350 that I have 37,000 miles and no problems. If you go with a used Ford, look for an '06 or later model.
If you are looking new, the only complaints with the 08 Ford 6.4 diesel I have heard is the fuel mileage is not great. However, they have made some improvements to it and supposedly improved it.
And go with the F350 (1 ton) over the F250 (3/4 ton). There is only about $400-500 difference in the invoice price and it gives you greater cargo capacity.
