I would think if you are going to the high hp combo in the near future go with the glide. Its all about the starting line ratio.
With a 2.10 you will have some time .

With a 2.48 the shift will come very quick . I had a 2.49 400 with a 5.00 rear and the shiftniod smashed it during the wheelie ( which was a relief ) . Regan is right it is about first gear ratio .
