Simple none of the two are the best. HDI is the best measurement of a country's standard of living. To answer your question though as you may know, GDP per capita the the measurement of the amount of GDP per person in a country. GDP on the otherhand only calculates the total economic output of an economy. Therefore if we consider a country with 100,000 people(A) and one with 100 people(B) and both countries have the same GDP of 100,000$ they are from a GDP point of view the same. From a GDP per capita point of view though country A has only 1 $ to spend per person which compared to country B which has 1,000$ to spend per country is quite a poor effort.

If this does not satisfy you please send me a message :)
