It's more a question of being different than better.
Two wheel drive
A two wheel drive car needs fewer moving parts, so it'll be lighter, less expensive and use less fuel. OTOH it'll have less traction, as it's only two wheels pushing.
Four wheel drive
A four wheel drive car needs more moving parts, so it'll be heavier, cost more, and use more fuel, OTOH with all wheels pushing it'll have better traction.
Now, what's better will depend on how you plan to use it.
If you're staying on decent roads, not carrying or towing anything, then 4WD will cost you a fair bit, w/o doing you much good.
If you're regularly driving on dirt/gravel roads, maybe in the snow, maybe even off-road, then 4WD can be real helpful and possibly worth the extra cost.
