One is not better then the other. What matters is consistency. Choose one and stick with it for all of your URLs.

A good thing to do is specify which one you want Google to use in your Google Webmasters Tools account. Also, doing a 301 redirect from the one you do not use to the other isn't a bad idea. Or, alternatively, you can use canonical URLs to specify your preferred domain but a 301 redirect is probably better since forces consistency upon your users. If you use Apache this code makes it simple:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.yoursite.com/ [L,R=301]
