pro's and cons 12v vs 24v vs early commonrail.

I've been a lurker at this site for a little while and have done a ton of reading and know the basics of these three motors, and know some pros and cons. for a daily driver/tow rig/ toy and fun truck to drive which is the best.

12v would be the best case if i could find a clean lower mileage one

24v would be great in theory after a p pump swap, is the vp44 really that bad a pump if your not pushing it too terribly hard?

early commonrail- read they dont melt down as bad as the later ones, however i havent read claims that they dont melt down at all however.

I'm really not going for a hot rod right now, but I wanna be prepared for the future and choose the right truck for me the first time.

either one of the three trucks would most likely be a manual.

I know a lot of the facts on here, would just kinda like some different points of view from those that own each of the trucks about what they like and what they dont like. Basically a comparison.

Thanks in advance, and yes i've been reading and searching, Just trying to start a discussion on these trucks to help aid my decision in which one I am going to buy.
