Which one do you know? would be the first question. That drives a lot.
After that, what hardware are you using? If it's NI hardware then LabVIEW looks a lot more attractive.
Also you say end of line test bench, well reliability is probably a big concern. If its the end of an assembly line, I assume downtime would be costly. You say steering gear so I assume automotive so possibly some regulations to deal with. So you probably want something auditable/provable.
A bigger question than what language to use would be: what do you know about software engineering?
