Had a play with gearing commander, http://www.gearingcommander.com/ not a lot of difference between -1 on front and +2 on back, I think +2 on back is way to go, easier to do as no hassles with sprocket nut, and less chain wear    dropping one tooth on front is nearly exactly the same as +3 on back so +2 on back seems like a happy medium, be good to have front wheel on floor for at least some of the time 

I think you find -1 is better than +2 on the rear.

Look at the bottom of the gearing commander there is another calc regarding the number of links and wear rate.

Additionally a larger rear sprocket will shorten the wheelbase making it easier for the front to come up. A smaller front sprocket will give you a longer wheelbase so you'll be able to better use the extra acceleration.
