The amplifier is the same 15 dB gain unit. The 3410 has no splitter insertion losses, the 3418 has the insertion losses of an 8-way splitter. The purist would argue that a six way splitter saves you a small amount of loss. Realistically, the two options are so close that it boils down to which costs less. Be sure to cap any unused ports with 75Ω terminators.
