1994 by a fairly wide margin imo. Republicans had bigger gains in each of the House, Senate, and gubernatorial races, and you have the added significance of flipping the Dem-controlled House for the first time since the 1950s. From some brief research, it looks like the out-party gains in the state legislatures in 1994 were at least as extensive as they were in 2006.
Also, as NickG noted, with hindsight it's pretty clear that 1994 was the more historically important election. 1994 produced a lasting realignment both geographically and in the overall functioning of national politics and also set the stage for the remainder of the Clinton administration, whereas 2006 did have a big impact on the 2007-2010 period but didn't have the same level of lasting effects as 1994.
