Yes, it depends on what they need to do as to where might be best. A good oral surgeon will whip them out very quickly, if they are through the gums. They prescribed powerful pain-killers for me and I just took a Panadol instead.
All else being equal, get them out sooner rather than later. Wisdom teeth can mess with the other teeth, pushing them around, etc. You don't want to have to have other work to realign things afterwards. Also, if there's even the slightest chance that they will be uncomfortable or require sudden extraction, don't leave them until your US trip, since US medical procedures often cost 10x what they do in Australia.
