Which is better LJ or RUBICON 35 inch tires?
My light LJ on 35s has better performance than my heavily armored TJ Rubi on 35s (MTs on steel rims are 105 labs each versus the 72 lbs each for the AT/aluminium on the LJ). the TJ also has 4.88 gears. I recommend new axle shafts, and eventually gears and brakes but for the time being you are good.
What is the top speed of a Rubicon?
Most of my street driving is on the highway, and currently my top speed is about 65-70mph at 2500- 3000 rpm in 6th gear. Welcome to the forum! I have done it, no problems besides having to shift sooner.
Can you put 4.10 gears on a 35 inch tire?
Depends on where you live .. in mountainous areas you should plan on gearing lower down the line. For flat lands, 6-speed and 4.10s will be fine with 35s. I went for a few years with my 5-speed and 35 mtrs with a couple of almost 2000 mile long road trips .. the jeep won’t win any speed contests but it’ll get you there.

If you aren’t going to be doing much off-roading your stock Rubicon axles will be fine. If you start hitting the trails more the stock axles will probably be OK with 35″ tires, but once you step up to 37″ tires your reaching the limit of what those axles can take.
