No—Eureka wire is not a better electrical conductor than copper. If by “Eureka wire” you mean Eureka resistance wire, it is typically a nickel-chromium-based alloy designed to have relatively high electrical resistance, making it useful for heating elements and resistors rather than efficient current transmission. Copper, by contrast, has much lower electrical resistivity, so it conducts electricity far more efficiently. In practical terms, choose copper when you want low-resistance electrical conduction; Eureka wire is useful precisely because it resists current.
