If you like the stock performance, 4.56 will be fine with 6speed, the good thing about manuals vs. auto, the manuals gear ratios are better spaced.
if you tow or plan to add bumpers etc.. then 4.88's will help get it moving better - any lower and RPM's start affecting freeway driving and usable gears.
Just keep in mind once you add more static weight, you will also give up some mileage and performance will feel a bit of lag.
this is where tuner etc.. help in gaining some of the performance/mpg's.
