The 3.5 lift will look kind of funny running 33's, ask me how I know... With the 3.5, you will gain closer to 4-4.45, which coupled with the 1" body lift will clear 35s no problem. You can run a 35 on the 3.5 lift, but you wil have minor rubbing at full flex.
If you really care about the flare issue, I would go with a good 6" flare like the warns. From what I hear (I have never owned a pair, but its all over the net) the bushwackers dont hold up for crap on the trail. They crack and break easy. There are other models out there, so research a little before you buy.
I second what Nate said. Save your money and build it the way you want it the first time. I too went the way of the budget boost and wasted a bit of money that would have been nice towards the 3.5".
The biggest ride difference you can make is with a quality shock. There are a few really good ones, get the ones that are made specifically for the jeep because of the weight issue.
