Gears for sure if you want it to tow better. 3.90's or 4.10's would be better than those 3.42's. You might lose a tad bit of fuel economy though.
For easy upgrades to gain power you can add a intake tube and some headers, then get a really good tune to help pick up some horsepower.
Past that you will be into a camshaft upgrade or more. Take into account that the more power you add the worse it's going to be on the stock transmission. And with you wanting to tow a big trailer, that is going to take it's toll on the transmission aswell.

Headers, cold air intake, exhaust, tune all increased my gas mileage. Then throw in a set of gears which will help very well with towing and make the truck more fun. it should balance out that you get good fuel economy, have more power,and it's a lot more responsive from stoplight
