Go with 31's not that much more money if plan on any offroad at all go with some sort of mud tire's. I'm installing a 3 inch lift my self in about a month those will be my tire choice's.

Speaking of speedo change. How off will the speedo be, when going from 235's (roughly 27 inch) to 31s/32s? Like 5mph off?

One thing that needs to be considered.
Width.
31's narrowest width is 10.5
Whereas 30's go as narrow as 9.5

Big difference depending on the rim you are planning on using.
