Leave the gear change consideration out of the equation.
It’s far easier and cheaper to change tire height to fine tune the gear ratio.

If the axles for now are usable in the local 12 bolt I would go with stuffing new parts in that if it will bolt right in.

If your RAII heads are not heavily ported I don’t think you will harm the 12 bolts stock axles without slicks and a lot of runs.
