Better in which sense?  Do you mean, better for you in maintaining the
package?

Having the package in the core makes it possible to maintain it in
sync with Emacs releases.  Having it in GNU ELPA makes it possible to
release improvements in the package that work for old Emacs releases.
I think that either one can be valuable in some cases.
