Default Ordering Gears...

Im going to order Gears tonight but i need some advice. I really dont know what im looking for in gears.

Ive been told i should go with 3.55 , 3.73, or 3.90 gears.

Ok so here's the deal, i dont plan on turning my fox into a dragster for a while and its going to be my daily driver for atleast the next 6 months to 1 year.

so what should i be looking for? which ones should i go with? and does anyone have a specific brand they recommend?
Ive been looking at http://www.brenspeed.com/mustang_50/rearend.html

get 3.73's but dont order motive gears... get FMS gears.... they are actually easier to install!

consider doing a 31 spline rear end upgrade if you plan on making decent power down the line

Dude this is easy, Ford Racing 3.73's. If you drive on the freeway alot you might wanna get the 3.55's instead. Definetly get Ford Racing or Motive or Randys or something reputable though. I have never heard of brenspeed. Get an installation kit too. Too bad jegs has them on backorder for 3 weeks [:'(]

I got all of my gears andinstall stuff from brenspeed, make sure that you get the ring & pinion, master install kit, fluids and speedometer gear. I've got the 3.90s and love them.
