I think deeper gears will be more fun, so I would go 3.9XX or 4.09. For me, fun = number 1. Everything else is secondary to how fun the car is to drive.
If you drag race, I think the deeper gear will be faster, regardless of what the sim says. The steeper gears make wheel spin infinitely more manageable, and makes the car much easier to launch effectively. If you put a sticky tire under it that can handle a 4-5K clutch drop, the 3.45's might be faster, but even then I have my doubts.
