Default 2015+ Which Engine Did YOU Choose??

I wanted to start a thread on which engine choice everyone made for their 2015+ MY F150s. The idea is that this will help people when making the decision for their next truck. Ford makes a bunch of great options. I don't think this would be a great place for arguments and making fun. Discussions about why should be appropriate. SO;

Which engine did you choose and why?

5.0. The turbo lag and overall habits of the 2014 3.5 I had started to get old. I also missed the rumble.

I had a 2013 5.0 with 3.55 gears. All stock. It felt like all my other fords I had. When I tested the 2016 3.5 eco with 3.55 gear what a difference. It fells like it has more power. Even my dad noticed. Maybe because all the low end torque it has. Yes the 5.0 has a few more ponies. But I don't drive my truck in the higher rpm range to get the 5.0 moving.

3.5 Ecoboost for pulling TT. Will be using in the mountains and don't want to lose power at altitude.

I tow a travel trailer in summer months but not all the time, I wanted to use the truck as a commuter when not towing and 3.5 ecob seemed the most logical choice. I spent this past long weekend in the mountains and am glad I chose the truck I did. Tows like a charm except for wind gusts it was flawless.

I chose the 3.5L ECOBOOST for a number of reasons. Primarily I chose it because its more responsive to tuning and the low cost of adding more horse power and torque appealed to me. I also preferred the feel of the 3.5L EB over the 5.0L trucks I drove. More specifically I liked the acceleration characteristics of the 3.5L EB trucks over the 5.0L equipped trucks in similar configurations.
