As said, either 3:73 or 4:10 will be better than 3:55. If you think you may ever use bigger tires, then get the 4:10's. I vote for 4:10 even if both are available with 31.5".
There are many axels in wrecking yards, they will let you look at the gears, if they look nice and money permits, but the entire axle, brake to brake. Then rebuild it with all new seals, bearings, fluid and gaskets.
It will still be much less expensive than new gear set and will offer many, many years of reliability.
