Which of these frame sizes would you choose as someone who is 178cm (5′ 10″) with an 81cm (31.9″) inseam, for a sporty gravel and touring build? One is 54cm other one is 56cm Seattube

They would both be fine. They’re almost identical. You would have slightly more stand over height with one of them, but that’s not a big deal for sporty gravel.
The top tube length is also longer on the bigger frame. It’s safer to go with the smaller frame and put a longer stem on if needed.
The trail is also quite different, the smaller frame should be slightly less “twitchy”.
