When and who to reach out to post final interview

Had a final round interview last week, and want to know if I should reach out for an update on a decision. I have a different offer but much prefer this company and would want to join them if they could extend an offer. Should I reach out to HR or the hiring manager I had my first round with? I don’t want to overplay my hand and then have them say if you have another offer go with them, but also have to decide whether or not to take this other offer in a few days.
