Mark, I was in the same situation with my TJ only the decision was 33s vs 35s. I went with the 33s. While daily driving I did not think much about it. I was able to go anywhere I "wanted" to take my TJ. However, every time I was on the trail I wished I had gone with the 35s. As those fine Nike folks say, "Just Do It". 
PS, did I convince you to go with the 35s like you requested?

Just my 2cents, get your 4" lift, control arms, correct your caster and pinion angles, dont regear yet. Go 35s and test your limits with 35's. After you get used to it, and decide if you need 37s, regear accordingly. (prolly 5.13's) By the time you wear the 35's out you can upgrade to 37's and everything else will be ready for it. You may find that your completely fine with 35's and not want to upgrade. Ill prolly step up to 37's after my 35's wear out.

Yours might have been the best reasoned recommendation to go with the 35's, until you stated,...

You almost had me there!

yea, deffinantly lift it enough for the 37"s incase,
but i agree with putnam_dan, 35"s look great,
and perform just as well, and are kinda perfect
for the JK
ofcourse if u have the money and can deal with any drivetrain
and other issues the 37"s may give you, go for it!
but if not, i think the 35"s will also make u very happy, more than u may expect
----i realize i didnt help ur desicion at all, just thought id throw out
my opinions anyways, haha
