The reviews here might help you decide...
Another to consider is the Tamron 70-300mm Di SP USD VC (!) It's had good reviews here and elsewhere, and gets consistently good feedback from folk here who use it.

I'd seen reviews of the 55-300, and thought I'd seen a comparison between the two Nikons (55-300 and 70-300) some months ago. I was looking for it earlier... can't find it now.
The reviews linked below may help while there's no 55-300 review here. Both 70-300s are.
Markus: is the 55-300 one of your 10 upcoming DX reviews?
Fairly clear that image quality will be better with either 70-300 than with the 55-300, but they are heavier (better build quality).
