"Better" is a very subjective term. So my answer cannot be precise.

Some consider the latest bleeding edge software to be better, others
prefer stability. Moreover, we can't predict which packaged versions
will have better behavior than others. If same versions are packaged
in both repos, there shouldn't be much of a difference. Otherwise,
there will be a difference, but the difference can be in any
direction.
