Default Rear Gears....which one!?!

1994 Mustang GT Convertible, 5 speed, 5.0L V8

I use it as a daily driver, but I want to change the rear gears for some more power.

What would be the best choice for a daily driver?

If your motor is mostly stock, the 3.73s are perfect for a 5 speed.... but if you've got some extra grunt under the hood, the 3.55 may be better, becasue you'll find your self shifting way to quickly...
