In-differential...
Ok... I'm a bit confused on this whole gear thing. From everything I've read including articles from multiple magazines the recommended gear ratio for me sits between a 3.55 up to a 4.10 and this is for daily driving/good gas milage on a set of 31's...? I dunno. Sounds like a very opinionated line of sh*t to me which I care not to smell anymore:
V6 2000 4x2 on stockies with 265/75/16 pushed with a set of 3.08's...
Should I go 3.55 LS or 3.73 LS?
I think either of those will work perfectly for whatever I end up doing to this truck. Highway gas milage and low end acceleration are most important to me.

The difference is 21%.
3.08 is physically stronger than 3.73 or any higher number.
My Bronco runs 3.08 + 32s, and I can tow the world, but my trans has one of the lowest granny gears ever offered in a 1/2-ton truck. It's perfect for me, though, because I don't have OD, but the high gears make up for it. I can set the cruise over 100mph & turn less than 3400RPM. I've never topped it out.
