Gear ratio's can get complicated!There so many varibales to deal with. You need to have an idea of your tire size to even have a clue about where to start calculating. You spoke about ground clearance and that has lots to do with tire size. Unless you have a machine shop availibilty of chain size to sprocket choices will effect your decisions. You're on the right path! You have basic wants from your buggy- now you have the power plant and a potential transmission with the CVT. Now it's all about "how MUCH are you willing to spend" on your hobby?
