Whoever fits your needs better. Otherwise, whoever you like more.

Gilgamesh has a lot of utility as wave clearer and boss killer. He can crit hard with his passives and third skill, and he can get his NP out very easily between critting and using his second and third skills. On top of that, his NP's damage output is comparable to a ST one at NP1, and that's not factoring the extra damage against Servants, a very common boss type. He is rather squishy, but you'll probably be running him with support to mitigate that anyway. If you want to go for a Buster crit setup, he's one of the best if not the best attacker for it.

Squirtoria has her utility in that she can kill bosses and stall with relative ease. Even without support, she can spam her NP easily, moreso than any Servant in the game. You will rarely see her NP bar below 40% after firing it, never mind with the right support and CEs. She's also the tankiest Archer behind Orion, as her gauge drain, HP pool, DEF up, and heal make her very hard to put down. Her only caveat is that she usually needs a crit somewhere in her brave chain to get her back to 100%, but there are plenty of supports for that. As an Arts attacker, she's arguably the best one you can find.

If you ask me, I'd say go with Squirtoria. While they're both limited, Gilgamesh is on rate up more often so you'll have more chances to get him later. On top of that, Squirtoria's really cute.
