I'd say get the 3.55 if you plan to tow that size trailer.. With the 10 speed, you can still select the gears accordingly and when running empty, it'll be just fine...
I have 3.73's with the 6 speed and Eco and it's a great combo for everyday driving and towing a #7000 TT.

Towing, you won't get any better mpg's with any gear ratio..
Empty, with my 3.73's going 70 mph, I'm at 2000 rpms and can get 19-20 mpg on the hwy.
I'd get the 3.55's if it was me.. :)
Good luck! Mitch
