They are both a good gear depending on your goal and car setup.

Well you already ordered the gears so it's not going to make much of a difference either way, 3.73s will be a good gear. Just people that do a lot of highway driving or are going to be making serious power and/or want to use their first gear will sometimes go with 3.55s instead.
