Default another rear end decision

i have a 2000 z28 m6 with basic mods and headers, im looking at doing the gears next, either 3.73s or 4.10s, i dont care about the fuel economy but this is a daily drive, what gears do you guys think im better off with,
i know this question has been asked before but another one wont hurt

I just put in a noisy Moser 3.73 in my 2000 Z-28, along with all SLP SS suspension, I love the 3.73 ratio vs the stock 3.42, it works very well with the double overdrive 6-speed.

Well, in theory the 4.10's are a very good gear ratio for a bolt-on M6. The problem is that the 4.10's in the 7.x" 10-bolts are weak. If you plan on using it as a DD then you should be fine, but if you plan on pursuing any kind of strip activity then you'll probably want to consider a 12-bolt or equivalent (of course that's true whether you want a gear change or not).
