IMHO, we need to define "better", better in terms of learning time, development time, calculation time, flexibility, accuracy (needs definition too), etc. Also, better at simulating what? The choice of tool is often made to best fit the specific industry or research topic.
Do you want to get started very quickly or do you want to have more control over the algorithms/formulas used?
If people use a certain tool in/at your industry/university maybe that's a good start because of your peers' experience.
To make it even more interesting: do you want to run your simulations in the cloud? For free or do you have a budget? Yes, $$$ is a factor to consider too.
Good luck!
