I like both but the Longines just looks a bit classier IMO.
One is a utilitarian plain dial watch and the other is a fine dress watch. apples and oranges here.
"Which one is better" questions are always difficult.
I happen to own the 556A RS (and am currently wearing it as I type this) and love it to death. That said, I do quite like the look of the new Conquest too, at least in pics. I haven't had a chance to see it in person yet. I think for me it would currently wear a bit big, but if they ever come out with a 39mm (which seem inevitable, since they eventually did for the Zulu Time and Legend Diver, for example) I'd be interested to try it on and give it some consideration.
As @OldSnafu mentions though, these are very different watches. "Which is best?" is a problematic and fairly useless question. "Which is best for me?" is a better one but really depends on what you like, how you want to wear the watch, and so on. Both are good quality watches.
Not as high end, but Sinn is IMO the better watch for the money I think.
