While 2010 was arguably a bigger wave in the House than 1958 was, the senate results in 1958 make this clearly 1958. I would say 1958 was more long lasting as well

1958. The Democrats won a generational grip on the House that year, while the GOP was able to lose the House, thanks in large part to Trump as I don't think another Republican would've fared as badly in the 2018 climate, just 8 years after their landslide win there in 2010. The Democrats also locked the Senate for 22 years in 1958, while the GOP came short in 2010.

2010 was a fairly big win for Republicans, but I'd still go with 1958, mostly for the absolutely dominant Democratic performance in the Senate.

1958 is probably the most impressive midterm win since senators were directly elected.
