You need to make a plan, and think ahead when you start modding, or else you end up buying lots of things twice...
Your future plans with the car should have a large effect on what gears you want to go with..

The way I see it is this:
N/A Combo: If you're planning no staying all motor with your car, and just looking to get a solid 300rwhp or so out of it as a DD, go 4.10's, but be sure to beef up your suspension along with it, otherwise you'll be losing your 'acceleration' through wheel spin.
Turbo/Supercharger: Go with something like a 3.55 in the long run for a turbo or supercharged car.
You do make a good point... But it also depends on what the car is used for, I suppose. As a daily driver/fun car to drive, I think I'd agree that 3.73's would be better suited. For a track car though, something steeper may be better... A local shop owner had a 10 second 306 on a stock T5 actually about a year ago. Built 306 with nitrous, and was running 6.3 in the 1/8th. I believe he had 4.56's in his car, but that was GREAT for the 1/8th. Highway cruising = terrible. And driving around town = terrible with how much shifting is involved.I somewhat disagree with this.. If you are building it up NA, with a decent HCI, I would run 3.73's.. You should have alot of midrange torque..
I Almost regret having 4.10's.. I wish I had bought 3.90's.. Oddball size, but I think they would be perfect..
I went with 4.10's because the car would bog between first and second, and the steeper the rear gear, the closer it brings the tranny gears together..
A Vortech or Procharger actually takes longer to build real boost than a turbo does, so centrifugal guys end up running fairly steep gears..
If you do ALOT of highway driving, I would most definately stick with 3.73's..
I hate driving at 3000 RPM for hours at a time.. If you hold it a 3000 RPM in neutral, it sounds like it is screaming.. Lucky for me, I might drive on the highway once or twice a year..
