What is best depends uponn what you want to do, what you already have, how much money you want to spend, etc.

All three options would be fine for cruising. The only think with the TKO, is that with first gear being 3.27 : 1, if you run a 3.73 rear, it may be a bit too "steep" for a good hole shot, being that a big block cobra has a high torque/weight ratio , and you don't need a steep first gear.

For all out performance, probably either a close ratio toploader with 3.54/3.73 rears, or go for the gusto, a Jerico or G-Force custom racing transmission, either of which make a five speed of 100's of different ratio combinations, that can enable you to have "somewhat" of an "overdrive" gear ratio combination.
