3.55 gears will give you the most bang for the buck. After that I would consider replacing the stock H pipe with its 4 cats (ok, 2 are precats) with a new H or X pipe.

i'd def. do subframes first. cheap, short install, and being a vert, you car has a LOT of flex. they'll help stiffen things up a lot. gears like you said.
a little more info would help. what are your goals with the car, what are you looking to spend? Do you have emissions? need a/c? weight reductions are free...
are you willing/able to get junkyard parts? i'm sure jrichker will chime in with his budget upgrades list soon

I'd do gears, short shifter MGW is very popular here, SFC, and o/r h or x.
