For all around driving the 3.73"s by all means. With mainly a track car I would go for the 4.11's.

i got 3.91s and think they're great. especially with my stall. around town no problem on the highway cruising at 2500-2800rpm doesn't bother me though.

My car pulls good all around with the 4.10's. Hangs with stock GTO 6.0's through 1st and second, door to door.

For a Daily Driver 2.73 to 3.73 will give you 36% more RPM per MPH, that's a good size change and you will see a difference, 4.10 is 50% more RPM per MPH and is pretty drastic of a change. It depends on what you want to end up with. Personally I put a 3.42 in my A4 with stock 16 inch rims and can easily fishtail through 1st and 2nd than calms down in 3rd so am very happy as it does what I wanted. If you are thinking about racing, or strip, or with a cam that needs higher RPM in the higher gears then it's a different story.
