The difference is in the shift points. The 4.57 was designed (IMO) for autocross. The 4.44 are more daily driver. On a quarter mile run the 4.57 will require an additional shift, while the 4.44 will not. Do a search, do not take my word for it!!
The gears do make a change in the car.
Be sure to get someone who really understands how to rebuild the rear-end!! You will need the yellow-box for the speedo correction. And shims for the gear install. I would also recommend cryo-treating the gears.
I had Hidden Performance do my install. They hired someone else to do the actual rebuild of the differential.
Good luck!
