Likely doesn't matter much, as generally the range is constrained by the radio power limits.

Both are very old bases, so if you are looking to purchase I suggest either a VMB4540 or a VMB5000.

Well, the problem with that is, I’m not sure if the newer bases will work with my cameras. And I don’t want to replace everything. I have the VMC 3030 cameras

I tried upgrading, or at least getting the Arlo, indoor cameras, and they would not work with my base, so I’m assuming my cameras would not work with a newer base, but I could be wrong

ANy cameras are compatible with the newer bases and hubs. The reverse isn't true - new cameras won't work with the VMB3xxx bases.
