Cim Reduction Swerve

I was wondering how much reduction should be applied to cim motors in a swerve application. We are thinking about using two cim motors per side, so that the swerve can switch to tank and swerve. Both the toughbox from AM and the Banebots P80 planetary look promising. What kind of reduction should be applied to a coax-swerve in a carpet setting. Within the module, we have a ratio of 1:2.75 so we get 2.75 turns out of the wheel for every turn of the top shaft. I guess it finally does come down to the type of the game, whether we need to push people around or we need complete speed, but what would be a good ratio for an off season project?
