So it seems like of the bunch, the 09+ Fit 5spd. already has the best gear that I can get. Unless the same tranny is used in another vehicle with different ratios.
I just was googling, so it is hard for me to tell which country my data came from. I do think there are multiple trannies (or "just the gears, ma'am") tailored for the markets.
