Wanting some opinions on some sprocket ratios for the 2019 cb500xa

I want to change the socket ratio on my bike with the goal of more torque for some dirt roads and easier wheelies while still being at a comfortable RPM while doing 110km/h as that is the Australian highway top speed.

For reference 15/41 is stock with a ratio of 2.73

I want to know what out of the following is the best for dirt roads and easier wheelies
while still being able to do 110km/h at a comfortable RPM.

16/44 with a ratio of 2.75 (.02 above stock)
16/45 with a ratio of 2.81 (.08 above stock)
15/44 with a ratio of 2.93 (.2 above stock)
15/45 with a ratio of 3 (.27 above stock)

I'm asking this subeddit as i'm not as familiar with different sprocket ratios and wanted the opinions of those who are more experienced than me in the community.

Thanks in advanced

I'm thinking of changing the sprockets on my 2019 cb500xa but i don't have much experience so i want the opinions of the suberddit

I was thinking of changing the stock 15T front and 41T rear for a 16T front and a 43T or 44T rear, my goal is to have more torque while also being able to comfortably do 110km for the Australian highways. the other more stupid goal is i want to do a wheelie easier as even my buddy who is decently good at wheelies struggles to get it up and he suggested that i get a larger tooth rear, then i watched some general cb500x videos suggesting i get a 16t front so i was thinking of doing both at the same time but wanted to check with this subeditor before i buy the parts.
