I bought an 08 Avalanche to replace my 96 Tahoe and couldn't be happier with it. I got the LTZ with navi/dvd.
The interior is extremely nice and you can lower the windows, remove the midgate glass and open the sunroof and it's practically a convertible. The only downside to the interior is that you get some glare from the dash panels and chrome trim if the sun is just right.
The stereo rocks and the dvd player works great. The stereo on my '08 has an auxiliary stereo-in plug that accepts audio equipment. There are multiple power outlets in the dash, the console and the rear seating area, so you're never at a loss for an outlet. The center console is very large and has a nicely padded top that is comfortable for both front seat occupants at the same time.
The climate control and heated seats are outstanding. The climate control and seats are tied into the remote start - a very nice feature.
In terms of versatility, I don't think it can be beat. It takes no time to drop the midgate and load plywood or any other large items in the back. Even with the midgate closed there is more room in the bed than any car trunk you'll find. The rear passenger seats fold down and you can also arrange items inside the passenger compartment on the back of the rear benches. There is plenty of room under the rear seats to store things while they're up too.
The storage boxes on the bed sides are huge and have drains so you can load them with ice and they'll drain as it melts. At the same time, they lock and will not allow the weather to soak anything that's in a dry box. The rear decking over the bed is easy to remove, stores in a provided bag when not needed, are weather tight and you can stand on them to get to the roof.
The traction control system is very good and the 4WD system is solid. Overall the truck is very good in bad weather.
Handling is outstanding for a large truck, but it's no sports car. The turning radius is very impressive but it is still a big vehicle and can be a pain in tight parking lots. The backup assist and camera are a must have and have saved me many many times. There are blind spots on the rear pillars that are difficult to see into, even with the mirrors adjusted properly.

I have had this truck almost 2 years and have never enjoyed a vehicle so much. This is also the first truck that I have ever had and it will not be the last Avalanche. It is a dream to drive and ride in. IT is very quiet and very smooth riding. I will never have anything else.

Interior: OnStar, XM, Back up camera built into Rearview mirror, Automatic folding side mirrors, USB port, 8 cup holders, lots of storage and leg room in front and back. Seats easily fold down to extend bed to 8' 3"
Truck Bed has side storage that I like to use as a cooler when going camping. It has a drip hole in the bottom and I can put over a case of soda and a 20 lb bag of ice and still have room for more! Bed cover easily removed with two levers on each of the three panels. 5 min max conversion time.
I have not got 21mpg yet as it is rated but the engine does drop to 4 cylinders on the highway and down hills to help conserve gas. I also run e85 and have the same amount of power and acceleration as using regular unleaded. mpg drops about 1 to 3 mpg when using e85 but costs consideribly less depending on the time of year.
Great Truck/SUV/family car. tons of room and versatility to do almost anything. They even make a after market tent that you can attach to the bed!

This is my second avalanche. My first was a 2005. I had 130K miles on it when it saved my girl's life. She was driven into a concrete barrier by a dump truck with a full load at 60+ miles an hour. The dump truck came into her lane and crushed the Avalanche against the center barrier. They actually moved the barrier when they hit it. The Avalanche was totalled but she walked away with only bruses and a persistant fear of dump trucks. She insisted that we buy another Avalanche. The new Avalanche is even better then the old one. Bluetooth, rear view camera, Nav sys, and better mileage. We have recorded 35+ on the highway. Love My New Avalanche and so does my girl.
