It depends on what you want to do with the numbers.

If you want to comb the Federal budget for spending
with a military purpose, you should use the OMB data.

The NIPA numbers are less detailed but better suited
to macro analyses.

If all you want to do is look at military as a share
of the budget, or GDP, you can use the OMB data.

Also, the national income accounts have a good history, though the
numbers are a bit different:
