IMHO, the 3208 is kind of like the 6.2-6.5L GM diesel of the heavy/meduim duty truck world. It has a bad rap that is not entirely deserved. I personally have used 3 different trucks that had 3208s. If taked care of, and not used like a 3406, they are good engines that will last a long time. In your application, I would think the 3208 would be the most economical and long lived. I would start it in the morning and not shut it off until the day was done.
