Are concrete blocks cheaper then a concrete slab?
That's sort of a strange question. A concrete slab is a horizontal surface -- it's meant to be a surface you stand on or build things on.

You wouldn't use concrete blocks as a substitute for a concrete slab.

Are poured concrete walls better than concrete block walls?
It depends on the application. For homes, masonry is fine as long as it is insulated well against the weather. Masonry rarely needs maintenance. Concrete walls are stronger and last longer than masonry but are more costly to construct. For basement walls, I suggest that you always use concrete walls. Above ground level, masonry is cheaper and strong enough for residential and commercial, multi-story applications. For retaining walls, 8" thick masonry works well up to about 8 feet of retained earth. Above that, the lower courses of block will get thicker to 12". You still need concrete footings for block walls.
