Have also heard a slightly higher 1st ratio is the go, as otherwise 1st is too low.

Am i on the right track Chris?
Depends on setup, and how hard you wish to RPM the car. If we are talking about setup alone, a taller first gear will " load" up the car more and will highlight potential setup issues. A short first gear driven correctly will accelerate hard, but may hurt the tyres.
