you replacing the entire rear end, with drums and hubs from the 10.25?
If so, I hope you have some 8 lug rims/tires, or you'll be SOL.

I'd probably stick with the 8.8, because aftermarket is wide open for the cool stuff... but if i had to upgrade, ford's 9 inch would be my ticket... but if I had a choice, I'd keep the 8.8 for as long as possible.

I've seen many people put 1 ton axles under their F150's. I think for the rear, you might need springs that are wider than the stock f150 width...
