They are different words and can be used in different ways, so neither is better than the other. Kept is the past tense of keep, so it depends on the sentence, whether it is a present or past tense being used.

It is not a matter of which one is better to use in a sentence. It depends on what verb tense you need!

I kept my diamond ring on my finger, until it slid off somewhere between 44th and 92nd Streets.
