I've had four 2.6Ls and two 3.0Ls. I prefer the 3.0 by far for the previous mentioned reasons - power, mileage, fuel capacity, suspension and brake upgrades. They are worth waiting for. I believe the 3.0 is more reliable as well.

Never having driven the 2.6L turbo, I can't really comment on those other than one would be unlikely to suit my uses.
