Cost would be just a 3.7 diff.
Fun would be a 4.22 behind a 5 speed.
the end results are very close but getting to cruising speeds with a
ribcase and a 3.7 will take some time. Getting to the same cruising
speed with a 5 speed will be much quicker and when you get to 70 mph,
just hit 5th. It depends on how many red lights there are between you
and the highway. 
I had a 3.7 and it was nice on the highway.
Now I have a 5 speed and stuck the 4.22 in it the 2nd day of driving.
