definitely low pinion. Low pinion is supposedly weaker on a front axle, and stronger on a rear axle, because of the way they turn. But the main reason people like the high pinion front axles are because first off, it gives you way better angles on the short front shaft, and second, it gets the pinion up off the ground. On a low pinion front axle the pinion is one of the lowest spots on the truck so its common to damage the pinion/ujoint/shaft area on rocks and stumps.
It depends on what you are doing, but the high pinion 44's aren't that hard to find, are relatively inexpensive, and are probably worth holding out for. But if the LP is free and meets yours needs then by all means go for it.
