What's the split on the two?

I bet the diesel pulls as good or better. They almost always have much better towing characteristics than gas engines. Maybe not in this case though. I'm not too familiar with the ecodiesel.

You'll see similar MPG with substantially higher torque numbers in the next generation of light duty diesels.

eco-diesel - 9,200
Hemi - 10,400

This is the first modern diesel 1/2-ton in the U.S., so there is no basis for comparison. In the past, 3/4 diesels were compared with less than stellar gas "equivalents". So, of course the diesel is going to tow better.

That's the natural progression of technology brah.
