In my opion the tough part is do you ever plan on going to a bigger tire? If you do, then do the 5.13's and deal with slightly higher RPMs for a year or two until the 34's wear out and then move up in tire size.

When you do offroad is it backroads and dirt and mud.
Why I ask this is because if your not a guy that hauls ass on freeway you should be fine not over revving. You don't have a 4:1 transfer-case so the benefit of the low gear will help you if your going into low range and also the loss of power when you put it in 4 high through the mud and such. I'd still say 5.13 if your a 65 mph kinda guy on the freeway.
Now if you go 70-75 you'd be revving pretty well with 34's and 5.13's. If you have gear and or pull a trailer 5.13's. A girlfriend that packs tons of stuff 5.38's. Lol anyways you get what I mean. So I think you borderline for the 4.88 /5.13's

If you leave the front end open then you lessen the chances of things breaking. If most of your miles are on the highway then you won't have to worry much about spinning tires.

I go back and forth. The 5.13's would be nice when I tow the camper but that is only about 2 or 3 times a summer and is only up to Gilbert (60 miles of mostly flat ground). When I went to 4.56's in my XJ I had to upgrade the brakes because being locked front and rear when I was in 4 low I could barely stop the rig. I know that the brakes on the JK are considerably better but I have still seen guys overdrive their brakes when crawling in low range.

I know at some point this summer I am going to have to make a choice because I am regearing this summer at some point. Right after I get a spare tire carrier and a better job.
