I think a tire rep would tell you to go with the 2.4.

My opinion, go with the slightly smaller one. Why? Less likely to bunch up and pinch. I always go a bit smaller on my tubes and have better luck. The little amount the tube will be made thinner by stretching such a little bit more is negligable, but too big of a tube is easy to pinch. My $.02.
