Default Cant decide on gears

My car is under warranty and will be getting rebuilt. I have my choice of gears. Im leaning to just installing the stock gears. I was thinking about 4.10's, but I dont want to lose my top end. I like racing from a roll but I also like racing from a dig. Maybe 3.73's. What do you guys think?

Has anyone ever used 3.55's?

My friend in his M6 put in 3.73 and latter changed to 4.10. You wont lose top end power but 120 is the fastest you will go in 4th.
