The basic difference between a cello and an electric cello is shape and sound. An acoustic cello amplifies sound naturally inside the hollow body sound-box of the instrument. The electric cello has a slightly different shape, no resonant chamber at all, and a unique tone.

Which one is better the electric cello or the cello?

It really depends on what you're preference is, what you're playing, and where you're playing. If you prefer the electric cello, go ahead. If you like the regular wooden cello, it's fine. If you're playing rock, I suggest the electric cello. If you play more classy-jazzy style, go with the regular cello. If you are playing solo on stage, go with what you prefer. If you are in an orchestra, go with the original cello.
