Hewland Gears - choosing ratios for gear strength

My engine (Buick V6) is somewhat over the torque range for my gears (FT200).

Which is the better choice of ratio for gear strength - more teeth? - or fewer (and therefore bigger) teeth? And why?

For instance is a 19:24 better than a 26:33 or vice versa - both are same ratio (almost).
