I think it depends on your area. Around here we have a lot of hills so I prefer the 3:78. Allows good acceleration from a stop, hill climbing power and decent top speed.
If your highways are for the most part flat and you'd like to go a bit faster than the 3:78 will allow, the 3:54 is a good choice. But, remember you still have to stop and steer so 70mph while possible with the 3:54 may not be prudent to (fully) utilize.
