I have used both and I think they both work. Lemon jucie also works and I used it on sliced banana's also. They looked great.

I tried one of them and it worked great (can't remember if it was the 7-Up or Sprite) My question is does it matter which one you use or will they both work???

The most effective method for preventing apples from browning is to soak them in a solution of 7-Up or Sprite. The citric acid in these sodas helps to slow down the oxidation process that causes browning.
For best results, it is recommended to soak the apples in the soda for at least 5 minutes. However, if the apples will be exposed to air for an extended period of time, it is best to soak them for closer to 10 minutes.
While 7-Up and Sprite are the most commonly used sodas for this method, you can also use other clear sodas that contain citric acid. Examples include Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist, or Squirt.
No, you do not need to rinse the apples after soaking them. Simply remove them from the soda and use as desired.
Yes, this method can be used for other fruits that are prone to browning, such as pears, peaches, and bananas. However, be sure to adjust the soaking time based on the size and thickness of the fruit.
