Pay down the debt
Yeah - don't leave money on the table - but your APR is pretty much the deal cincher here.
Obviously, Ramsey would say "turn off" your retirement - but I don't think he means to leave money on the table, nor would I follow that part of his advice, anyway. So that's the starting point of the discussion - don't leave free money on the table, and if it makes sense to surge and pay off that almost 10% loan first, then shift back to retirement - do it.
The tax nuances of Roth versus traditional is another discussion, but most younger folks will be better with Roth long-term - admirable though your tweaking of your tax rate might be right now.
