They say that the numerically lower ratio gears are stronger, as there is more teeth on the pinion.
V6 thirds are different to 4 cylinder ones, but I dont know that there is any real strength difference.
I believe Nitro gears are pretty good. I used these in my 9" thirds. Yukon, Precision, Motive, AM have a good reputation.
