4.56 is the gear you want as long as you don't mind a mile or two lower milleage on the highway. You shouldn't notice much difference in the city or the trail though.
3.73 would bring you the closest to stock power/milleage.
4.10 would be only slightly noticable on the lower-end of the rpm range and not at all noticable on the upper.
I have never met anyone who said that they went with too much gear. Always take what seems like the best option and go one higher.
Check out this website to see the exact RPM difference between tire sizes at different gear ratios: http://www.florida4x4.com/tech/gearcalc.php (enter .76 for the 1st gear ratio and 1 for the t-case ratio, I think those are typical "overdrive" and "high range" on Ford drivetrains).
