I would say it's a matter of preference... the '87 gearing (4th & 5th) is a little taller, thus a bigger spread b/w 3rd and 4th...
I prefer a closer ratio (88+), but that's just me...

As you say, it's a matter of preference, but I feel that since you go into 4th and 5th to go fast, the taller ratios are more desirable, because since they're taller, hence, a little more speed...

87 has a taller 4th and 5th than the later years...
