JUdging by how my friend's Euro 300D drives, I think it has the same gear ratio that the U.S. non-turbo 300D/240D's have.
I would go for the 2.88 if you can find one; your acceleration will be slightly lower, but it'll make up for it in lower cruising speed. On a straight freeway run, I can get 30mpg with my car.
BTW, with the 2.88's and a slushbox, I'm at 3000 RPM at 70mph...
The only problem with 2.88's is that I've been told that if I converted to a 5 speed, my RPM's would be too low in 5th gear and it wouldn't be worth it...
