I'd say 80E too. I did it, and yeah 1st gear isn't great, but I don't regret it. I like knowing that I can beat on the truck as much as I want and that the trans will take it all day long. I was so paranoid about my 60E after going through 4 in 3 months.
Plus, as stated above, the 80E has a 2.75/1.75 1st and 2nd gear available, that's what GM puts in the RV's. If gear ratios are a huge concern, you could do those gears.

4L80E comes with 2.48 1.48 1.00 .75 ratios the early 4L80Es can use the 2.75 1.68 ratios that are available from TCI made for the TH400,but those ratios won't fit a late model 4L80E.

Go with a Level 5 65e from FLT or just bite the bullit and go with a 80e. I wanted a 80e but Chuck told me I would be fine with his Level 5 so I went that way. I know before it is all over I will smoke the Level 5 and have a 80e sitting in there.
