If your roads have a lot of crowns and your car hunts on them, the 10:1 may be a little harder to manage than others.. but just like anything, you'd get used to it.
If you're only driving it on the street then there's no point though.. Stick with the 12.7.

Well, it hasn't been cone hunting but it was also an original 48k mile car before the changes. The front suspension parts are getting updated/changed further (second round) & the steering box is leaking badly so it's prime for replacing while making the changes. The factory ratio is like a 17:1 so the decision is which one better compliments the updated parts.
I have a Squarebody crew-cab dually that takes corners like a 1/2 ton truck (lowered; -.5 Camber; 6.9/7.4 Caster; RedHead steering box; 4-bar rear set-up w/Spohn spherical joints) so I do appreciate 'spirited' drives regardless of the vehicle I'm piloting.
Several have suggested the 12.7 boxes because some Monte SS's, 442's, & GN's used them from GM but that was with OE suspension set-ups & specs. I figure my non-stock specs & parts combo might benefit from the 10:1 but don't have much experience w/them.
