Diesel Power Magazine that is on the Stand now has a big article comparing the Two. I just skimmed it while in Auto Zone, but i believe it indicated the 5.9 has More Power. it compared several different aspects.

Hypertech says different. 5.9L - 287hp, 6.7L - 304hp

5.9L built starting Jan 1, 2004 have lower emissions and worse mileage than those built before Jan 1. Don't assume your 2003 5.9 gets the same mileage as a 2007 5.9. Comparing autos to autos I would expect the 6.7 to get better highway mileage than the 2007 5.9. City mileage might be a little worse with the 6.7 but probably not noticeable unless you drive all city.
