No transmission or 4x4 problems, brakes last a long time.
If you don't mind the decrease in fuel mileage, maybe the 6.2 would be better. Also they made some 2500 Suburbans with 6.0 and 4l80 trans. pretty bulletproof!

The 2500 suburban will not have active fuel management. It will have a 6l90e. The 4l80e was never installed on Gmt900 trucks.

They are also harder to find.
