I don't know alot about the newer(1999+) stuff but the 350 vortec is known for weak intake gaskets and poor fuel pumps. The newer engines(99+) will have to have the fuel pumps replaced occasionally, but it's not as common as the early vortecs. A 5.0 96-99 vortec will get slightly better mileage(1mpg) than the 5.7 but if you want to tow with it, you're going to have to take it easy. If mileage doesn't matter look for something with a 4l80e(3/4 ton). Will take a bunch more abuse if you ever plan on towing with it. If you get something in the 96-99 range then fuel mileage difference will barely be noticable. The 96-99 vortecs are also known to have poorly designed injectors. They can be updated to the same system as the 99+ vortecs. I can"t tell you about the downfalls of the 99+ cause I know nothing about them.
