Default 2005 Silverado 5.3 / 4WD differential help request

Looking for thoughts from anyone who’s upgraded their differential. Stock on my 2005 Z71 is 3.42. The brand my local trans shop carries offers 3.73, 3.90, and 4.11. I do tow a camper half a dozen times per year (weight is 6k), and I’m in a hilly area (upstate SC), but also do some freeway driving...I want to see a difference, but I don’t want to go too aggressive. I want a bit more torque, but don’t want the RPM whining too high on the freeway. And, I know front and rear must be done. Which would you suggest?
