It depends on your goals. Both companies have solid records and a lot of different funds to choose from.
You need to compare returns--after fees--on similar funds from both families.
If you are far from retirement (over 20 years away) you can afford to be more aggressive and put more into growth stocks and stocks in general. If you are getting closer to retirement, you should put some into stocks, bonds and money market accounts.
I'd try to put some in both fund families since both have done well over time.

From what I have seen with most 401(a) plans that use TIAA-CREF, I prefer the Fidelity group. Fidelity typically has more investment choices which can help you build a better diversified portfolio.
TIAA-CREF doesn't have but about 9 investment choices (if that many) and most of their large company equity funds are too similar.

Both have good and "OK" funds. Use your "asset allocation" as your guide & pick the best fund in each category that has a good vtrack record & low expenses. Consider putting 25%-35% into an S&P 500 Index Fund (especially if you are new to investing).
