I'd go with yukon gears, and would also invest in overhaul kits for front and rear you might also need to buy both carrier bearing sets front and rear "Depending on who installs because the bearing cages bend easily deeming them unusable" also you might need new pinion bearings front and rear (See above note). I'd go with a 4.56 or at most a 4.88 if its your dd. and the Price range for everthing including install could easily get over 2k.
