I like both of them. If I were going to receive one of the two sets, I would go with the 1957 set. It is more iconic. But there are two prime differences. 1957 is loaded with Rookies with good value. The second reason is the rarer mid-range numbers. These are kind of hard to find.

1956 is a really nice set and you can't go wrong with the stars in it, but the 1957 Brooks Robinson has strong value and is always in high demand. Throw onto that the rookies of Tony Kubek, Frank Robinson, Rocky Colavito, Bobby Richardson and a few others and this set is loaded with rookies. As well, the Berra-Mantle card is also well sought after.
