We'll I'm going to rebuild my rearend anyways, so I thought I might as well do it. I have heard that there is a pretty big difference between the two, maybe Im wrong?

Hoooold the phone...why are you making that switch? The difference is so negligible it's not nearly worth the money. Now if you're going to 4.10's it might be worth it, but 55-73 is a waste. BackInBlack, just go 3.73, you won't regret it

If you've got a set of 3.73's lying around then yeah, might as well. However, don't buy new gears/have them installed. There is a very minimal difference between the two, you'd be better off spending the money on other go fast parts

If you throw 4.10's in a daily driver you'll regret it. You'll be spinning like 4000rpm on the freeway and your mileage will suck. 3.55's seem to be the best combination for getting outta the pit quick and leaving you plenty of top end. 3.73's will give you a little more on the bottom but like others have said, the difference is negligible. Just my two cents...
