Those two calculator links should help you decide, after you check the door label for the original tire size. FWIW, I'd also consider a replacement axle, 4.10 with limited slip would spin the tires you have now quite well.

This link will decode your axle code on the door label (determine ratio installed now): http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/Axles.html
 
Depending on your gears I would go with the 205/65/15 tire, I just put them in place of the original 225/70/14 on my 98 when i upgraded to 15", I couldn't be happier with them i bought dunlops been great I have a 2.5 5speed with 3.55 gears
 
Im gonna take my chances with the 205/65/15...

Hopefully they will fit on my 15x7 rims!
