i have used 3.91 gears and hated them
i have used 3.55's and disliked them
i have used 3.23's and they were pretty good
to answer your questions
which gear...gonna try 2.94 in the new project
why...i'm spoiled by our modern cars that cruise so nice around 2200 rpm

Or could go the other way around if all built similar hp and making around the same peak tq per cid (efficiency) a 440 with 2.94 gears would put similar torque to the ground as each of those cid gear combos. To me the main reason for displacement.

273 x 4.88/2.94 = 453 cid
318 x 4.10/2.94 = 443 cid
340 x 3.91/2.94 = 452 cid
360 x 3.55/2.94 = 434 cid
408 x 3.23/2.94 = 448 cid
