I would have to say go with the T-Case gears like zutefisk said unless your are getting a deal on the gears. They are easy to install and the 6.5:1 kit will bring you right into stock hi range and give you that extra crawling speed. I find 2nd and 3rd work perfect for general trail use and 1st allowes me to crawl up and around without to much fuss.
Additionally, it makes finding a spare set of gears to carry around a lot easier.
