I would like quicker takeoff and still be able to drive daily around town and maybe a 200 mile trip ever now and then

Not sure what comes stock in those, but you could go a little larger than what you have stock, but if you go too big you'll be running an unnecessarily high rpm on those 200 mile highway rides.

What is the tire diameter? I say for what you are talking about then go for the 4.10 with your trans gears you will be okay, but you should expect to see RPM's in the 3000-3500 range at 65 mph.
