"Better" is a very subjective word. It depends on what you want, and different people want different things. The .40 caliber round tends to have slightly lower velocity but more muzzle energy than the 9mm, but it depends on which specific cartridges you are comparing. 9mm ammo is (normally) less expensive than .40, so it's cheaper to shoot if you shoot very often.
