Which would help me the most on the street-Gears or Stall?

Right now my truck is sluggish until ~2000 rpms. When it gets to ~2400-2500 rpms, it starts pulling hard until the redline. Thats why I want the 2600 stall, I figure it would pull hard out of the hole with out spinning TOO much. The 3000 is too much for me, I want to feel some of my lower rpms working.
What I mean was; I'll get the stall first and later get the eaton and gears.

I just don't see you getting any traction if you go 4.10s and a 3000 stall.
If you don't care about traction, then get 4.10s

Hey BADMOFO, where do I get the GM posi additive stuff? I'm thinking the dealership, just making sure though. By the way, what does it do? Thanks.
I've got 53,000 miles on my truck and haven't had the rear end or transmission fluid changed yet, will that hurt anything? I'm fixing to get it changed in a week or so.

order the TC and when the place does the install for ya, they will be adding all new ATF since they have to drop the tranny. don't worry about the gear oil. i installed my Eaton less then 2 weeks ago and the gear oil looked good after 56,000 miles. you will be changing that later too if you decide on gears and Eaton.
i still say go for the 3000 not the 2600
