Either transformer should work good for a small Tesla oscillator as current
is more important than potential. A 3 kv difference won't make a large
difference in the output. A 30 ma transformer will match up with a cap
value of .005 MFD with good results. A sec. coil of around 800 turns of
#24 or 26 AWG on a 4 inch dia. form will get you in the ballpark.
