It depends. If you look at the golden angles, you'll see that the engagement envelope is relatively small, since it has a higher golden angle, which means that your shells will be at the golden angle height for a smaller duration of the flight. The 5"54 L's have really crappy damage but a relatively low golden angle and more range than the 3"70's. This makes the 5"54's ideal for picking off scouts, but not so much for bringing down bombers, which the 5"38's do relatively well due to short reload time and high damage (beaten only by the 6" DP). I've tried the 3"70's as well, and they're good for taking down scouts too, but I find that their damage isn't quite enough to bring down bombers reliably, which is also partially due to their comparatively high golden angle.
