Juice is Juice, but the better your motor runs without it, the more you will benefit from it. It really depends on how far you want to take the car on what gearing you want to run. For 5.0's wih sticks, I personally like 3.73's. But I'm planning on swappin g mine out for a set of 4.56's this summer.

Definitely. Any low end you may lose, will be made up for with N20. I found, that when I ran a 5 speed, and my 6 speed for a matter of fact, that the 3.73's were pretty good for a top end charge at the strip. Right now, I'm crossing the stripe around 6000ish, but I turn my motor to about 6500 anyway.
