If you are going with 3.31 rear, I'd get the close ratio toploader.

If you go with the wide ratio toploader, go at the most with 3.07 rear, and maybe be better with the 2.88 rear.

If you want a five speed, the TKO600 has wider spaced gears than the wide ratio toploader, so I think you may be better with the wide ratio toploader and 2.88/3.07 rears, and you won't need an overdrive. If you want a close ratio 5 speed, either get the richmond with the 3.04 first gear instead of the 3.27, and use 3.07/2.88 rear gears, or get a custom made jerico/G-force with similar ratio's as the richmond.

No matter what, get your CSX with provision's made for the 5 speed (partially cut out crossmember), so even if you do go with the toploader, your frame will already be modified for the 5 speed if you ever wish to change, and it will be an easier swap.
