That depends on what you want it for. Ti can be as strong as steel, but a lot lighter, which can be useful.
However, Ti is a lot more expensive, so unless weight is really important, you might prefer steel anyhow.
Steel can also be made more wear resistant, and is easier to make good cutting tools of, which is important in some cases.
