Not really for fuel efficiency. Might be worthwhile from other perspectives, but pretty much the most efficient RPM you can run at is the lowest RPM you can stand.
I don't know how the torque converters in either of those lock. It might be worth checking into, because if one will be locked during cruise and the other won't be (for whatever reason) that would be an extra factor. An unlocked TC wastes energy...
