Rear Axle Ratio 3.21 vs 3.55

I'm about to order a '97 4WD Dakota with the V6 and manual 5-speed
which comes standard with the 3.21 rear end but if you get the payload
package (an additional 500 lbs.) they put in the 3.55 rear end. I'm
looking for the maximum ecconomy so suspect that the 3.21 would be the
best choice. Then when carrying a heavy use a set of Helwig overload
springs. Any thoughts appreciated.
