differentials

Anybody got any definitive answers on differential gear ratios? The Fox has 373 open diffs. My buddies Z71 has 343's. Would that be a good way to go for gas mileage? I'm running 33x12.5r15's, and want to go 35x14.50. Will I lose too much acceleration and torque? Also, gear vs lever vs air lockers: which is the least trouble? I'd really like TRUE 4x4 when locked w/out tearing anything up.
