I like the gas drops better than the gripe water because you don't have to give as much, so it doesn't take as long. But the gripe water helps with hiccups.
I haven't tried the gas drops but really like the gripe water, it's natural and helps my LO almost instantly and he passes all his little farts within 10 min.
Our doctor told us that gripe water is essentially baby ginger ale or chamomile tea that settles the tummy. We use gripe water, but only half the dose and it works well for our one month old.
