For everyday use, I'd recommend Arch over Gentoo since Gentoo is based around compiling everything you install.
However, there are cases in which you might want to use Gentoo instead, namely if you have a decent computer and don't mind compile times or if you don't like systemd and would rather use something like openrc. Gentoo also gives you an even higher degree of control over your system than Arch does, so that's also something to consider.

If you really were an "intermediate" user, you wouldn't even need to ask the question.

Iv'e used both before, I just needed a second opinion.

If you've used them both previously, you know their differences. Which you clearly don't. Otherwise, you wouldn't be asking this.

As >>126530 said, if you can deal with autocompiling your own stuff (autocompiling because, unlike Slackware, Gentoo's Portage makes life quite easier even if it's still locally compiling), use gentoo. If you can't be bothered with waiting for compilation time and want binaries, use arch (or Ubuntu, for that matter).
