Re: 4.10 best general-purpose gear ratio?
I think that 4.10s will do you fine until the tire size gets over 32". Then,
the 4.10s will only be a marginal problem, and won't become a huge issue
until the tires exceed about 35". If you knew that you were leaning towards
33s, then 4.56 gears would be better, but it sounds like you are sticking
with tires of 32" or under, and 4.10s will be fine.
I think that 4.10s make sense for you also.

Re: 4.10 best general-purpose gear ratio?
Not exactly true....but I know where your coming from.
I have an 82 CJ-5 with 258, T-176 four speed, 31 inch tires and 2.73 gears.
55 mph in THIRD gear I'm only turning 2800.
Fourth drops it to about 2100.
