Rationalism Is Better Than Empiricism
I think rationalism is better because you can prove things through logic and reasoning as opposed to experiences, such as maths.

Logic without empirical data is just arguing about angels dancing on the heads of pins.

They are both necessary for any decent understanding of the world. Just as logic and reason are powerful tools it would be folly to ignore that which we can learn from experience. Without empiricism we wouldn't know about gravity for example.
