Default Gear decisions

I am having a tough time deciding on which gears to get. The car is a 1970 corvette convertible with LS1 and T56. Current rear is 3.36. This is just a weekend/fair weather cruiser and I am looking for some more punch. No track time. Currently stock motor, future upgrades include long tubes, and ASA cam.

The options I am considering are 3.90, 4.11, and 4.33.

What do you guys think and why?

Thanks

If your are not adding a power adder on then go with the 4.10 but some newer Corvette owners just love their 3.90's.
