"Better" is relative to the shooter's criteria.

The below are major considerations to ponder.

Unlimited eye relief
Red dot - yes
Prism - no

Co-witness with irons
Red dot - yes
Prism - no

Etched reticle (reticle use absent battery)
Red dot - no
Prism - yes

Eyepiece focus
Red dot - no
Prism - yes (not all)

Accommodating to astigmatism and other eye irregularities
Red dot - no
Prism - yes

Magnification levels
Red dot - 1x
Prism - 1x through low levels (generally all fixed)

-------------------

So... one or more of the above could be a deal breaker for the shooter one way or the other.
