The answer depends on what you mean by "better."
The North Rim is higher, cooler, more isolated, more arboreal, and has far fewer visitors. It also has fewer tourist facilities, which is a plus or a minus depending on how you view their presence.
Which rim has better views is subjective, but most people think the most iconic viewpoints are on the South Rim.
