New Resident - Foreign Income - Tax Situation

I moved to US on H1B and would continue to do so for the full year. This would make me pass the substantial presence test to file taxes next year as a Resident Alien.

Should I fill form 1040 or 1040NR? Which gives me better options?
Thanks for you help.
