Old debate 700r4 200r4 new opinions?

I am currently running a mild 350 w/turbo 350 with 4:10 gears. I need to do something for better gas mileage and highway driving. Part of me wants a cruiser with 3.08 and smooth running with decent acceleration not a racer. My old life as a drag racer wants to be able chirp the tires into second gear with part throttle, and well it happened the other day I left a stop and it started spinning and I didn't have brains enough to let off.. I figure being almost 60 no cop would believe it was me doing that anyway ! I am considering the 200r4 with the 4:10 and maybe having my cake and eating it too

Now I still don't know what to do .. I had a early 700r4 given to me.. I was told by a reputable transmission shop that they could rebuild and install including shortening the driveshaft, shift kit and torque converter and TV cable for less than $1000. I also just found a 200r4 for $150. I checked the RPM I do want to keep the 4.10's. The 700R4 will give me 2322 at 65 and the 200R4 will give me 2222 which is within my rpm range I just can't decide which transmission !

Which way do I go ?
