the beauty of going with a motor with more cubic inches- even if you aren't looking to run 9's or something- is that it will be more drivable in day to day usage due to the extra torque. and a bigger bore almost always makes for a more efficient engine at all engine speeds- which usually translates into better fuel economy.
a fun experiment would be to destroke a 4.1 to 231 ci and see how it compares to a stock 3.8.
