Default MS3 and Gears?

Ok I plan on doing a MS3 dual valve springs and harderned push rods, probably a ls6 ported pump also, in my 98 ls1 with minor bolt ons, keep in mind stock heads. Which gears are the best for this application I know its kind of preference but I would like some feed back if anyone has any im leaning toward 3.73s and not 4.10s but maybe a gear in between these?

If it is an A4 I would go with some 3.73's. If an M6 you could go with either one, 4.10's are popular in M6 cars with big cams.

I'm running the MS3 with an M6, and have 4.11s in my 9". If you ever have to drive your car in any kind of traffic, and want the MS3, then get the 4.10s (3.73s if A4).
