4.88's will put closest to the stock set-up of 4.10's and 28" tires. However if you are like most, you will likely want to run 35's or bigger tires down the road, so the 5.29 gear set might be a better choice. On paper there is only about a 250rpm difference between the 4.88's and 5.29's in 5th gear(.851) at 70mph.
If you want to compare the difference in rpm's for different combinations of transmission gears-differential gears-tire size, these Drivetrain Calculators should give you most of the info needed. The transmission gears for your transmission can be found here at Marlin's Transmission Gear Ratio Chart.
