I dont have a favorite backing plate to use with 4" pads. I feel the 2 3/4 is a little small, the 3 3/4 is a little big. If they made something between 3- 3.5 then that would be perfect.

4inch pads are wicked and are a must. As for backing plate I can't recall the one I curently have but I'll be receiving a 75 mm (2.95inches) Rotary Backing Plate looks something like this:
