I don't know much about the 6 cylinders, so I won't be much help there. I hear the 250 has good low end, but I have never had one personally. The wipers went on the column in '84.
What are you looking to do with the truck? Are you in a smog testing area? I don't think that there are any years to avoid, it just depends on what you want the truck to do. I have had mine on both ends of the spectrum. My 73 had a 454, and got about 5 MPG. It would pass anything but a gas station, as they say. My 87 has power everything, overdrive trans, and fuel injection. Both trucks have their place, it just depends on what you want.
