It depends on what structural purpose the <g class="gr_ gr_111 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" id="111" data-gr-id="111">fibers</g> are supposed to serve.
Simplified: <g class="gr_ gr_177 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" id="177" data-gr-id="177">micro-fibers</g> improve your early strength properties (i.e. help against shrinkage cracks); macro <g class="gr_ gr_265 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" id="265" data-gr-id="265">fibers</g> improve the properties of the hardened concrete (i.e. provide tensile strength and toughness primarily post-cracking).
Refer to ACI 544 documents to learn more about properties.
P.S. micro-synthetic fibers also improve the spalling resistance in case of a fire (i.e. in a tunnel), but that does not seem to apply in your case.

Subject: Micro vs Macro Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Is it better to use micro or macro fibers for concrete pavements, curbs and gutters?
