Default Topwater Reel Gear Ratio?

I have one last reel I'm planning to buy. I'm going to put it on a 6'6" Medium, Fast Action rod, with 10lb mono. I want to use it for spooks, sammys, poppers, etc. I haven't done this a lot, but it would seem to me a 7.1:1 ratio (Revo STX HS) would be better than a 6.4:1 ratio (Revo STX). Not that you need a fast retrieve, but since all of your focus should be on your right hand, and the working of the bait, the less cranking you're doing the better.

Sound right? Anything I'm not considering?
