Start with a 15-16t. From there you should find a good medium till you know if you need more grunt or top end.
I run the HW 4700 in my trucks and I generally stay within 15t there, but I run a taller gear than most people do to soften acceleration.
With a 4300 and a 15t pinion, you should have a torque monster
