From a purely practical point of view, I would choose LHD. There are certain countries which don't allow you to enter with RHD vehicles. Oman and Saudi are the two main ones, but Azerbaijan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan sometimes make a fuss too.
Old LHD 4x4s are generally more expensive than RHD models as there is a better market for them in Africa and other developing countries.
But, if you've no interest in visiting the above mentioned countries, I would go for a RHD as you will have a far wider choice and will probably end up with a better truck for the money.
BTW I've been overlanding for more than 3 years non-stop in a '93 Hilux pickup - great car for sure.
