For P&G purposes, 2.0 + short gearing would probably be better. Drop into gear, load the engine and get up to glide speed, the shorter gearing will allow a brisker acceleration as will the bigger engine, therefore less fuel used. However, you are removing way to many equations from the scenario for the question to be really relevant anyway.
