mostly in that order too, but depending on transmission type if auto that would be my first upgrade just because you will learn the hardway if you don't upgrade it. that is with the dodge easiest diesel to make fast is the duramax by far

anything is going to be better than the ranger if you want to work it.

The chevy is nice but spendy. cummins any year 94+ or 99+ 7.3L should give you a good bang for your buck. Hard to go wrong with any diesel.
