The proper ratio is really more dependent on preference. The best all-around ratio is probably the 14/87 but you should be getting close to the same ratio with 12/84. I would maybe get yourself an 87T spur and then buy a few different pinions and experiment. What I do is run a rather low ratio with a higher voltage battery so I have some extra wheelspeed should I need it.
