Neither is "better". The two have essentially the same core training (in the US, at least), with the DOs have additional training in osteopathy.
That sounds like it ought to make the DO "better", but the problem is that a great deal of osteopathy is widely regarded by non-practitioners as so much hokum, rendering it either irrelevant or actually detrimental.
Personally: if I had a problem that was clearly bone-related, I'd probably go to a DO preferentially. If it was clearly NOT, then I'd see an MD, because the MD wouldn't try to tell me that it WAS bone-related.
That said, our family doctor for my entire childhood was a DO, and he was perfectly competent at internal medicine and general practice without having some kind of bizarre bone fixation.
