Default Best gear for 33" DD/WW

Quick question. Whats the best gear for me 4.10 or 4.56.

I do a lot of highway and city driving on primarily flat roads. Ill be buying 33x12.5 Km2s this summer and I'm not planning on moving to 35s.

Thanks!

Edit: Automatic transmission

I have 4.10s on 34s and I think the power is sufficient enough, kinda brings it back into it's power band so to speak. Mine is also a manual tho so I'm not sure what difference that makes
