Hasagawa and Tamiya make this in 1/350. Is there a preference as to the more detailed kit?
Both the Hasegawa and Tamiya kits are excellent. The Hasegawa is reputed to be slightly under scale, but not by all that much - and the proportions are still correct. If I were to have a recommendation it would be Tamiya. I’m working on the Tamiya Kagero at the moment, which is made from the same molds (with some minor mods) as their Yukikaze. That kit is a real pleasure to work on, but really, either way you can’t go wrong!

They’re both great kits and well detailed for their age. I originally purchased both to compare them and went with the Tamiya for no other reason than a preference for the Tamiya plastic. If detail is your interest you’ll probably end up going down the aftermarket rabbit hole and the selection for either kit is huge and growing all the time. The sky (and your wallet) is the limit.
If you haven’t read through @TimReynaga 's Kagero build, do, it will give you a very good feel for the quality of the mold and how well the kits are supported by the aftermarket.
Good luck with the IJN’s “Luckiest ship of WW2”.
Cheers,
