In the book, Eponine manipulates Marius by making him promise to give her what she wanted, in return for finding "the young lady's" house, which she does and Eponine takes him there. She also is the one that causes him to go to the barricades, in the hopes that the two will die together. In the musical, she manipulates Marius by making him promise to give her anything, and shows him Cosette's house.
Eponine is much more manipulative in the book than musical...

Who is the better part eponine or cosette?
It depends on whether you're thinking from the musical or a movie that would be closer to the book. In the musical, Cosette is a soprano and Eponine is either a mezzo or an alto. Both are good parts. If you're following closer to the book, then Cosette is a better part because she gets more time. However, Eponine also has very complex emotions so it's good to play her too. It all depends on your acting and/or singing.
