I used to hate when people would hound for guys to use the search tool but...use the search tool. This topic is covered so many times with charts and all...

As a quick answer, I have 4.88 in my 6 speed but it's a 3.8L so, 4.56 is probably what you should go with though it depends on your driving intentions and such.

Depends on plans. Wanna go to 37's eventually? Lots of hills? Towing? Off-roading? With the stick 4.10 prob just fine but 4.56 would be great choice too
