In the short run a monopolistic firm can charge where MR=MC and that will be at a price that gains abnormal profits. They can do this in the short run because firms have a lag before they can be set up. But in the long run, the abnormal profits draw new firms into the industry and so this forces the firm to break even. Any profit at all- in theory- will draw in competitiors as there are limited barriers to entry.

Which is better High break even point or low break even point?

It need not be. A lower break even point means that you stop making losses sooner. But it is possible that you make no profit at all. Ever. You just manage to break even. With a higher break even point it would be more difficult to stop making a loss but, once beyond that point, you could make loads of profit. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, as the saying goes.
