To me, almond is stronger. I always make almond buttercream, but I use half vanilla, half almond extracts. HTH.

When I make almond buttercream, I use 1 teas vanilla to 1/2 teas almond. The almond (to me) is very obvious. I would try with 1/2 first, and if it isn't strong enough for your liking, add the other half. Remember though, it will get stronger as it sits.
