After some web surfing, with HP being the same on a permanent magnet
DC motor, is a lower RPM for the given HP better than a higher RPM for
the same HP?

Motor A: 1HP, 90V, 2500 RPM, 10.7A 4.28A per 1,000 RPM
Motor B: 1HP, 90V, 1750 RPM, 9.2A 5.26A per 1,000 RPM

Since I'm a recovering college graduate, does this mean more kick per
RPM by the lower speed drive?

Certainly you must mean Volts per 1000 RPM. A common specification.
At 52.6 volts per 1000 RPM, 92 volts will drive it to 1.75 K RPM.

Which motor is better? That is like asking which gear is better for a
bicycle.
Won't it depend on what you intend to use it for?
One motor appears to be designed for more RPM, and less torque, (if
they are really both 1 HSP motors)
It appears that the specifications listed are somewhat ambiguous/
questionable.
What are you planing to do? How many RPM do you really want?
