Silk Road rush vs Gardens rush

Both of us played Workshop/Worker's Village. I rushed Silk Road and my opponent rushed Gardens. Thought it was interesting as I had never played with both options available and Workshop.

I feel like I was a little bit lucky. If given the option, which side would you play?

In a straight rush, I'm not sure it matters, as you expect each to be worth 3VP.  In a longer game, I think I like Silk Road more, but it's a close thing.

It's yet another case of very well-balanced card design.

EDIT: O is referring to this thread.

I believe the sims actually showed pretty conclusively that you rush SR before gardens.

I was surprised at how fast the game ended.  In retrospect fewer workers villages would have been a better play.  I probably should have also opened workshop/workshop.  Not a great position for second player, though.
