I think both are fine because both would tear-down the transaction and would mean almost the same thing.
But still 408 would have been more appropriate as its from Gateway, rather than 480 which is more likely to be client driven. And also in 480, we can get Re-Try after header, the time after which I can attempt calling again! Its more implementation dependent. Cheers!

Hi, when calling to two SIP/PSTN gateways, if the callee doesn't reply in XX seconds then the gateway sends me a "480 User Unavailable". Well, I think is much better using "408 Timeout", isn't it?
