I would shoot for both. OD's are especially nice if you drive the interstate. My choice would be the S-10 Chevy (T-5). They come in several different ratios, for 1st gear and for 5th, which is OD. They shift far easier than an early V8. Mine has the 4:1 1st gear which is way lower than I like, so don't always use, and the 26% 5th gear, which is really nice.
