Since you say used, go with the 5.0. Depending on the year, you might not see
many Ecoboosts on the lot, so don't get caught up worrying about not finding what you want. From my understanding, an ecoboost performs best when owner maintenance is followed and up to date. Being used, you just don't know for sure what the previous owner did if the CarFax isn't very detailed.

I just bought a 2012 5.0 L and love it. Not too worried about the opportunity cost on lower gas mileage. Last month I needed to do some work on an ignition coil pack way back on the 8th cylinder, and it was a cinch, they designed the engine bay well on 5.0 and I feel pretty confident I can do a lot of maintenance myself without too much cussing. Easy access to everything and wide open.
