I'm sure this subject has been beat to death, I'm am at the stage in my build where the axles need to be built, I am doing between 4.56 and 4.88, I am leaning towards 4.88 but have input from other jeepers that say 4.56 and some say 4.10s. My jeep is a 2013 2 door, 6 speed and plan to run 35s.

4.88. All day. I just got mine done recently and absolutely love it.

I see you have a 3.6L and a 6-speed but as others have mentioned, I'd go with still go with 4.88's. Trust me, the extra power you get out of them is worth it and the RPM difference at highway speeds is negligible.

5.13's. I ran 5.13's with my 2012 6 speed with 45's and it was great. Now with 37's I miss the power I used to have.
