this Bosch P for $300
of the Faggin complete for $1200 with all Mavic components
I'm kinda leaning towards the Bosch as I would like to throw a campy groupset on it and build it up myself and restore it

If you are not riding brakeless definitely get 48-16, or if you are go up to 48-17. See:

I'm in the minority here but I prefer bullhorns. It makes a difference what bike you have.

As for gearing, go with what feels good.

drops hoods, 72ish GI and learn how to spin. 48/16 is annoying to commute with because of all the stops.

So if you are at average/poor shape in regards to leg strength/endurance - I would recommend going with the 16t(hell, I would say even higher for "commute/joy ride".) Switching my cog from 15t to 18t was the best thing I've done to my bike by far.
