Default Drive Train Advice

So I think I have finally come to terms with the jeep build, The idea is cheap as possible but still drivable on road.

4.5" lift
33x12.50 M/T with a 3ply sidewall on 15x8
HP D30 with 297x ujoints
ZJ Steering setup
D44 with disc brakes
4.56 yukon gears
Lock right lockers front and rear

The lift is done, all that is needed is some fender trimming, then I can buy some 33's for it. I picked up a D44 along with the parts to convert it to disc the other day from the j/y. I also already have the D30 lockright locker, however it's not installed yet. Only things I need to finish making my mind up on are 4.56 gears or 4.11's. I know most people are always like 4.56, but mine sees street. Just wondering for peoples opinions on the setup for how it will be city vs. highway driving, not to mention off road driving too

Right now not including tires I'm looking at finishing at around 750 for the setup. So lets keep this whole thing under a 1000 when listing changes. This rules out ARB's and Detroit's.

{Also If anyone wants my old 8.25 it can be found here: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/showthread.php?t=7489}

4.56's and 33's will run 70mph at 2500, 75mph at 2750...
I run 33's and 4.56's, it's my daily driver, and I put approx 800 additional highway miles on it a month. I find the 4.56's to be perfect.
