I have done both and both are good day trips. As with many choices, it depends on your interests. I personally would pick Ostia Antica because of a strong interest in ancient roman ruins and the social history of this old port city. If you are really interested in gardens/landscaping then Tivoli.
It also depends a little on what time of year you would be visiting.

There's a thread in this forum that talks about getting to Tivoli. As I recall, it's a little complicated - you have to travel to a bus station in Rome, then take a bus to Tivoli, and then take a bus to Hadrian's villa - and it sounded like two hours each way. If you can't find anything in this forum, I think Rick Steeves talks about it.

Thanks, I'll search this out. I don't think I want to spend 2 hours to get someplace for this trip since I'll just a few days for Rome. I may stay put anyway, but will decide once I'm there.
