Both are reasonable choices for the biggest mid-term victory since WW2, and it's a fun coincidence that 1994 ended the long-term Democratic majority that, to a large degree, was created (or at least cemented) by their gains in 1958.
I think I'd go with 1994 because its long-term impact on Congress was even bigger than that of 1958; after generally being out of power since WW2, congressional Republicans have generally controlled the House and have had the Senate about half of the time. At the state level, I can't speak confidently about 1958, but 1994 was a definitely a big win for Republicans and contributed to long-term realignments in large states like FL and TX.
