Default petrol vs diesel

should i buy a s40 2002 model manual diesel 1.9L or a s40 2000 model 2L petrol?
generally, what are the pros and cons of a petrol vs diesel engine?
( apart from diesel being more environmentally friendly out of the city and vise verso )

... and is it true that diesel engines have a longer mileage life than petrol?
for example, could a diesel engine having done 300K still be just as strong as a petrol having done 150K?
