Maybe neither. It all depends upon the rest of your credit history and scores. If you have no derogs and good credit scores, I would ask for a CLI on the Visa, as long as you don't currently cary a balance, and you have used at least 50% of the current credit limit in the past.
TU 710 EX750, EX 699(late mortgage payments from 2002, aged off, but bucketed 8 points on 3/6 ) I have never used more than 20 % of my Visa CL

It might be hard to justify a need for an increase. I suppose it would be worth a call to ask for an increase to $10,000. Perhaps you might ask for an increase on the other card first. If you have used more than 20% of the CL on that card in the past I would give it a shot.
Frankly I would obtain a card from a bank like Chase or Bank of,America instead of asking for CLIs on a Target card. I would wait for your Experian score to recover a little though. Maybe it is time to be thinking about a Credit Union ?
I would recommend applying with Alliant Credit Union with your scores and history UNLESS you are carrying balances above 20%, especially if you have a strong EQ score (that is the only CR they pull).
You may very well get an instant preapproved offer online when setting up a Share (Savings) account. I would diversify here, not keep all your credit eggs in one basket.
