Ordering V10 this week...4.10's or 4.30's?

So I can't decide on axle ratio. I do not plan to tow often or heavy. Mostly will be a family hauler. But I may end up putting 33's or 35's on the truck eventually. My thinking is that the 4.30's would make more sense since the 35's tires will bring the axle ratio back closer to 4.10's, BUT I will be running the stock tires and wheels until the time comes to replace them. So let me know your experiences with mpg with big tires, stock tires, and the two axle ratio choices please. I know these trucks don't get good mileage and that lifting one is really going to kill it, but I'd like to start off with the right equipment.
Thanks,
Jerry
