I've been using difftastic as the diffing plugin with git and works really well. Can recommend.

Yep, same here. Personally, I had to switch to the inline-style for it to make sense to me (puts deletions and additions below each other like in the default git diffs) and there's certainly still room for improvements, but it does already feel like an upgrade.
I also really like the idea of structure-aware diffs, but like traditional unified diffs so much better than that side-by-side TUI. Not to mention the need to work with tools like magit.
