Antietam - because its result directly affected the outcome of the war. Lincoln was free to issue his Emancipation Proclamation, which kept Britain and France from aiding the Confederates. That could have tilted the war fatally against the Union.
Gettysburg was the more dramatic moment, and turned out to be a psychological body-blow to the Confederates, and also to Lee personally (his health began to fail from this time.) But it did not directly affect any strategic outcomes.
