Depends on what you're doing with the truck.... for a fairly stock street-driven truck, 3.40 is a good all-around compromise. Low enough to give you decent acceleration, low-end grunt, and towing power -- and high enough to be driven at highway speeds. Not too bad for fuel mileage either, but that's kind of a moot point on most of these trucks anyway.
