In a theoretical sense, bigger sprockets are better, ie 44:22 vs. 36:18. But the difference is very small, so the smart approach is to go the way that requires the least expense, and hopefully replacing only one item. If rear sprockets big enough are available, than that's usually cheaper, but whatever works is fine.
