He's not referring to the overall gear ratios, he's referring to the shifter spread.
The 4:1 spread is best if you want a very fast high gear and a slow low gear, or a very slow low gear and a fast high gear. If you're going for the fairly standard ~14FPS high, ~5FPS low, you'll want the 2.67:1. Really, unless you have a good reason to go very fast and very slow I would use the narrower spread.
