Go with 5.0l, or sell the 3.0l truck and buy a stock 4.0l truck.
'96/'97 Explorer V8 will not have the PATS anti-theft system which takes away a layer of wiring needed in the swap, but your '01 does have PATS so not that big of a deal since you have the antenna in the steering column already.
As Ricketts said getting a Mercury Mountaineer or Explorer V8 donor vehicle is best way to do it since all needed parts are there
