That's a very well thought out build. Out there in Texas I think you can get away with the 3.31 and the .64 TKO. I have the 3.54 and it works very nicely for freeway cruising away from the big city. Just make sure that whatever speed it is you're thinking of cruising at, say 75 MPH, that you check with Brent and he confirms that your cam doesn't hiccup at the corresponding RPM. It sounds like you're going for more of a milder 482 build, so I doubt you'll have any problem.
