The agencies you mentioned—Homeland Security, CIA, DEA, and FBI—serve different functions within the U.S. government. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) oversees national security, focusing on domestic threats and emergencies.

The FBI has a total of 35,344 employees. This total includes 13,598 special agents and 21,746 support professionals. These support professionals include language analysts, intelligence specialists, and information technologists.

Each agency excels in its area of expertise, so the "better" agency would vary based on the specific needs and circumstances being considered.
