Post need help with gear selection

I am looking to get into low to mid 10's with a high ratio so I can get a good launch. I now have 4.10's and am crossing the traps at about 116mph at 62-6400 rpm in fourth gear with my tremec. Now I have some good heads on the way with more boost from my vortech so the 4.10's are way to high.
I looked at the gear finder on some tech sites and 3.55's and 3.73's put me where I wanted to be, but the 3.73's will give me the better launch and the 3.55's will allow me to use some more of the engins tork down the strip. My motor is built up for mid to top end
(cam#'s 6.66 258@.50 heads flow 300 on the intake and 235 on the exhaust) what do you think should go in the rear?
