Which F-150 motor do you prefer?

I recently bought a 2012 F-150 Lariat with the 6.2L and I love it, but I know a lot of people love the Ecoboosts as well.
What are the pros and cons of the engines other than the 6.2L and have you had a good experience with ecoboosts? I don't tow a ton and I know that's one of the big time pros of the EB's.
(I think the other engines are the 3.5 V6 EB, 3.7 V6 and the 5.0L V8)

I loved my 6.2.
If I were to get rid of my 6.7, I would buy a 3.5 in heartbeat.

EcoBoost FTW

I have the 3.5 Eco with no issues. 2012 KR and 50k miles on the engine.
Gas mileage is not significant. But power is niiiice. I wish there was more rumble associated with v8.

Ecoboost without a doubt. 60k on my 13 without a hiccup. Gas mileage is same as V8 but the towing is awesome and I really enjoy how quiet it is until I stomp on it and hear those turbos scream. Will buy another

I prefer the EcoBoost. I love the way it sounds under load.
I know that if Ford had really gotten their way with the new F150 there wouldn't be a V8 option at all. It's only there to satisfy traditionalists.
That is a gorgeous truck

I believe that the 3.5EB is about to get a big bump in power too. They are putting it into the Raptor for 2016 and Ford has said at least 450hp. Not sure if this version of the EB will make its way to the rest of the 150 lineup or not though.
Probably include it in at least the Platinums.

Have the 3.5 EcoBoost with SCT programmer and custom tunes
Absolutely LOVE my truck. Very quick, plenty of power and gas mileage is good (18.4 on dash) as well for me having a heavy foot.

The 6.2L and 5.0L.
This is the first time in recent memory that Ford actually made a decent gasoline V8. That 5.4L was a boat anchor.
