Depends entirely on how you drive and what you want from the car. The taller the diff the better your fuel economy will be (at least on the highway). The shorter the diff, you'll see quicker acceleration but you'll also run out of gear sooner.

I am always reaching down to go into 5th.

Only to find I am already there.

I would go with a taller gear ratio myself.

I don't know the #'s.

Other than that a 6spd swap would be stellar.

You would have to change the gearing in most 6 speeds to gain anything. The couple people often talk about swapping in all top out with pretty much the same gear ratio as our 5 speed.... there are just more shifts in the middle.
