What offers more resistance? What do you like more and why?
Paddles. Use the finis agility paddles and they help with form (if you don’t hold on with your thumb…you can totally cheat the form if you use our thumb).
The swim gloves looks creepy and amateur.

+1000, in my 40 yrs of swimming I’ve never seen even a semi-decent swimmer using the gloves but rather glove users are always very poor swimmers, e.g. 3:00/100 m or slower. Paddles are definitely the way to go but don’t use them too much as they can put too much stress on your shoulders.
Thanks…wife got me some gloves for b’day even though I requested paddles. I was trying to find a way to keep the gloves and not hurt feelings but you guys have reinforced what I suspected from the beginning.

Keep the gloves in your swim bag and buy some paddles. If your wife ever watches you practice, use the gloves on those rare occasions but otherwise use the paddles. If wife asks how you like the gloves, just say “Oh I love them sweetie, thank you so much!!!” or words to that effect. 
If there is an older guy who hangs out at the pool and ogles at the teenage girls you could sell them to him?
