I think Ratio Scale is better

Interval Scale:-Permissible Statistics mean, standard deviation, correlation, regression, analysis of variance

Ratio Scale:-Permissible Statistics
All statistics permitted for interval scales plus the following: geometric mean, harmonic mean, coefficient of variation, logarithms



To clarify:

"Best" is an odd way of looking at it. As the previous answers suggest, ratio data does allow for more advanced statistics, but for the most common forms of analysis, there is little functional difference between the two.

The bigger point is that researchers don't necessarily choose the level of data that they are working with. The nature of whatever they are studying determines it, and you can get into some pretty murky water when you try to force a ratio measurement in a study where it isn't really appropriate.
