Pension or 401k

What would you do in this situation?

If you were going to retire in eight years, and you had an extra 4800
a year to put toward your retirement, would you:
1)  Put it toward your government pension?  Leaving that amount in
when you retire gets you an extra $400 per month for the rest of your
life.
2)  Put it in your 401k?  That amount would give you $60,000 in eight
years, IF you get 10% interest during that time (which may well be
debatable at this point).

Which do you think is the better deal?
