3.23 vs. 3.42's

I'm looking to do a gear swap here in the next few weeks, and was going to go w/ 3.42's, but after a conversation today I may go w/ 3.23's. I do a considereable amount of driving and am looking to improve my acceleration/ low end, but I'm afraid if i went w/ 3.23's I wouldn't be happy. Any thoughts

definetaly go with 3.42s, they wont be that bad on the highway and will give you way more acceleration

i do alot of driving, highway, city, etc. and i went with 3.73. it makes my car feel a lot quicker and spins the ires from 1st to 2nd. i like my car to be fast off the line and not give up too much top end, thats why i chose 3.73's. make sure those go along wih a posi.
