With a m6 car, 4.10s/11s should be the choice without even thinking about it. I had a buddy on here get a 12 bolt with 3.73s. He said he could barely tell a diff. So, after a very short while, he swapped them out for 4.30s. Now he runs a 9in with 4.11s. I have 4.10s in my car, and will never have a NUMERICALLY lower ratio than that.

3.73s or 4.10s Hi,
I don't have an LS1 yet, but I would go with a set of 3.73s. I've had stock 3.42s, 3.73s and 4.10s and I feel that the 3.73s gives you the best of all worlds in terms of coming out the hole, midrange, topend, cruising at 70-80mph, and fuel economy. Like I said, I don't have an LS1, but in the case of my LT1, that was the case.
My vote...3.73s.
