I wouldn't buy used, unless you're just buying a whole junkyard rear-end as a full assembly. Besides, 3.73's are pretty much a good all-around gear for any car - wish I could trade my 4.10's out for a set of 'em, myself. A set of 3.55's would be a step up from stock for sure, but 3.73's will keep you plenty happy in the long run, and you'll need to add on quite a bit of motor (or boost, or nitrous) before they become too short a gear for the 1/4 mile. If you've got huge plans for the powertrain, then maybe consider the 3.55's, but otherwise ... 3.73's rule, IMO.
