All of them.
For sprinting, over-gear (110+) for strength, undergear (80-90) for leg speed, and everything in between for acceleration. And that's dumbing it down- a lot. If you're a beginner, just throw an 88 on there and have fun. As you get more "advanced" (or just older, as in my case), you'll want to change it up and vary your workouts, hitting different cadence ranges for specific aspects of the sprint.
