Both are reliable if looked after. I've got a td4 but have no problem with the L series. Your budget may make the choice for you. Just get the best one for your cash.

L-series roolz . 
L-series can be serviced/repaired with basic tools set. That engine don't have VVC Turbocharger, have simple fuel injection system, and less needful sensors than Td4. Also construction and access to many elements it's easier than BMW powertrain.
It's controlled by analogue electronics - so can be diagnosed/repaired on trip with simple multimeter and couple of wires. Td4 have CAN network, so could be more problematic sometimes.
Tune it a little and its more than enough

The TD4 engine is perfect for the Freelander but with your budget I'd rather have a decent L than a worn out TD4.
