I'd go for the full-size V-8. I've owned several of both and put plenty of miles on all of em.

The V-8s last, whereas the V-6s I've had became noisy just over 100k miles. The V-6s also are more sketchy with Dexcool issues.

And after you're done with the full size , some scrapper will still want it. The S-10? Not so much.
