What should I do?

Ok, My rear end seals have been leaking for a long time now, and I finally have money to fix it. But, should I do gears too? Right now I have 3.08, I have no clue about gears and want to know what gears would be good for a daily driver. Or should I call some junk yards and find a rear end for another Camaro or TA and use it. If I do that I want to go with posi, but what years and models came with a good set of gears and posi traction. What should I do?

If you want better acceleration, and with you current TBI setup, a set of 3:42 gears would best suit you. However, this will drop your top speed a little.
