I use my reels for every type of fishing. I don't have money to have a bunch of different set ups. It will be used to fish worms, crank baits, spinners, top water, saltwater swim baits, popping corks, etc.

Go with the 7:3. The only application I use 5:4 is crank baits and slow rolling a spinner bait.

Get the 7.3
The cranking power you lose will be insignificant for what you'll be catching anyway, it'll let you get the fish in faster, keep tension on the line better when fighting a fish, reel up slack quicker if you hook a big red or bass and it takes off straight at you, get a bad cast back in quicker and recast, etc.
IMHO only advantage to a slower reel is working crankbaits, especially deeper ones.
ETA and I use a curado E7 for my crankbaits anyway. It's harder to reel that slow steadily but cheaper than buying another rod and reel for it for as little as I throw cranks.
