Rearend ratio

I am trying to decide what gear ratio I want for the rear. I figure I am going to use either a 3.73 or 3.08. If I use the 3.73, I would eventually get a 700R4 tranny. If I get a 3.08, I would keep my 400. The difference in RPM at 65mph w/26" tall tires would be just under 400RPM. I know the advantages of the 700, lower first & second gears, better mpg w/overdrive, etc., but I just wanted opinions from both sides.
