Good looking truck!
You are on the right path with deletes for reliability and economy.
However.
Mind the high power tunes. Used carelessly they will wreak havoc on a few things.
Tranny/clutch: The auto will usually hold up to 100hp over stock. I wouldnt tow with it any higher than 60hp over stock. If its a G56, I was slipping the clutch on the 60hp tune. Not driving aggressively either. A good SouthBend clutch and its taking everything I throw at it, and I know Im north of 500hp daily driving my truck.
High tunes and a heavy right foot can also spit a head gasket out really quick on the 6.7, Mind the timing and watch your warm up temp and you should be ok.

Running H&S for about half a year, then MADS for about 3 months, and now back to H&S, yeah, go with H&S...
