Preferred gear ratios are 100% opinion.
That being said, if you are spending the money for a regearing, and planning for 35s, I would go 4.56 or 4.88.
I have a 3.6 6speed Rubi on 35s. She is a bit heavy, about 700lbs overweight going by the sheriff's department scales, and I really want to regear. I just haven't been able to justify it as it would be a short jump for me, as I think 5.13s would be overkill.

The gear ratio charts found on google are super handy, just search Jeep jk 3.6 gear chart, and check it out (was going to post the image, but it kept coming out blurry). Just remember those are for measured mounted tire size, so your 33s are closer to 32s, and my 35s are closer to 34s.
Happy Jeeping!

looks like difference between 4.1 and 4.56 is 2300-2500rpm at 70 with 34's..still thinking 4.1 even though I do live at 6000 ft and most of our trails are much higher around here. Plus I would be adding 200-300lbs to jeep with steel front bumper and winch at about the same time. Tough decision. Still leaning toward 4.1 for better mpg

If those have 4.10s in em, you should seriously just consider an axle swap. You'd get the gearing on top of 2 lockers.
