Default 3.9's or 2800 stall

Easy question, Im after an easy answer. 3.9 diff gears or 2800-3000 rpm stall
I am wanting to hear from people who have them on their cars, either one or the other. I want pros and cons for each.
I travel mostly higways, probably 80 % highways, so fuel economy on the highway is kind of important.

3.9's
Pros: Shorter gear ratios

Cons: Increase in RPM at 100 k's an hour
Need to get the speedo re-calibrated
May hit limiter on 1/4 mile
Stall
Pros: Faster takeoff
No change in RPM at 100k's and hour (lock up?)


Cons: Need transmision cooler

Help would be good guys.
My car is pretty stock other than exhaust and intake, so this is my next step. :dr_Evil:
