Decide WHAT this car will be used for primarily. Stick to that, all your decisions will fall into place for you.

I love my 4.30s, And I got 23mpg with them. Light car, big tire, no accessories, polite driving on long trips. It can be done.

It sounds like you have a basically stock car. I would say 3.73's will make you happy for a long time.
