I have both and they both have their strengths and weaknesses.I was undecided which way to go when planning the engine/transmission swap.
Really wanted the PS power, but really like the IDI simplicity.
Then got a deal on a '90 donor that couldn't be beat.
I love the idi for its simplicity and great fuel economy, but it struggles with even pulling my empty trailer.
The 7.3 powerstroke is a very reliable towing machine, it will pull anything you can throw at it as long as you don't mind being the slowest thing on the road.
If I have anything heavy that needs to go long distance I prefer the 6.0, 6.4, or 6.7 for their insane towing abilities. They are all far less reliable though.
