Just finished this same swap and have put about 20 miles on the car. Everyone here will tell you 4.10s, but so far I love the 3.73s. Before with the stock 3.42s the clutch was horrible (textralia exo-skel) taking off and it bucked low rpm cruise speed. It cleared up 80% of the drivablility complaints I had.
4.10s IMO will make the car too tail happy at anything over 1/4 throttle. It spins, you put stickier tires on it to be able to drive it, then you pop the 10 bolt.
Don't worry, the 3.73s are still ALOT of fun. It's still very streetable, but anything over 3000rpm in second lights the tires up.
