Go too short and you risk that top speed being way off peak power/torque, so likely you'd never be able to hit it.
IMO aim peak power for your desired target speed, gives you more chance of actually hitting it when the going gets tough. It may still carry a few hundred rpm after that anyway
But it will definitely be easier than the 2.0 simply due to the wider spread of power and torque.
If you needed a little more or less gearing, it's just a tyre change away. But safer to aim for tall gearing. More boost/power can make up the difference.
If gearing is too short, you're screwed lol.
