No heaven is better.
Satan says "To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell: Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven".
Satan chooses to reign in Hell rather than serve in Heaven because he believes that it is better to rule in a place of his own making than to serve under the authority of God in Heaven. He values his own freedom and autonomy above all else, even if it means being separated from God.
The quote "It is better to reign in Hell, than to serve in Heaven" is from John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost," where it is spoken by the character Lucifer. Lucifer makes this statement after being banished from Heaven following his rebellion against God.

Heaven is a better place than hell. In heaven the streets are painted with gold, most of the challenges hat faced us during out earthly lives are no longer there.
We have no evidence that heaven and hell even exist, so we can not say that one is better than the other, apart from the belief that heaven is a place of blissful reward and hell is a place of eternal damnation. In the absence of this evidence, I would call it a draw. Two non-existent places are equally good or bad.
While Jesus did speak about both heaven and hell in the Bible, he mentioned hell more frequently than heaven in his teachings.
The movie that ends with the words "better to reign in hell than serve in heaven" is "The Devil's Advocate" (1997). This line, reflecting themes of ambition and moral conflict, is a paraphrase of a quote from John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost." In the film, the character played by Al Pacino embodies these themes as he tempts the protagonist, played by Keanu Reeves, into a world of power and corruption. The phrase captures the essence of the film's exploration of good versus evil and the allure of unchecked ambition.
No, Jesus emphasized the concept of heaven more than hell in his teachings.
