I do not regard one as 'better' than the other. However, the DNG format is an Adobe format. I happen to use Adobe software to process my photos, so using the Adobe format makes sense. The other thing to consider is that photos you take may be around for a really long time.
It makes sense to select a format that is likely to be around for a long time as well.
You can do you own guessing, but my guess is that the Adobe format is likely to have software that can read it longer than the alternative, but
my vote is for adobe here because it's used on several brands of cameras.
