Would one be more likely to become available than the other one?
Your odds are very good especially if you can depart midweek, i.e. Mon-Wed. Looking at the flights, JFK-MXP looks to be operated with a 45J 772 as opposed to 37J for JFK-FCO. The MXP flights on Sep 10-12 look much less full up front compared to FCO, so that's what I would go with all other things being equal.
