Which is better is a matter of opinion, but I can briefly describe both for you. Hopefully that will help you decide which is better.
Anti-matter is almost exactly the same as normal matter. It just has the opposite electric charge. Our universe is primarily normal matter because of a slight asymmetry between normal matter and anti-matter in the very early part of the universe's history.
Dark matter is what astronomers call the mass they infer must exist, but cannot see by usual methods -- it's "dark". As far as I know, there's still no direct detection of dark matter, but a few recent observations strongly indicate it's real. There are other theories to explain the same discrepancies dark matter explains, such as alternate theories of gravity (different from Einstein's general relativity), so we'll have to wait and see how it all pans out.
I hope this helps.

The better part is pretty hard to answer, because that pretty much is up to you.
But dark matter, you see, is the term used by astrophysicist for matter that they actually cannot see (thus the term dark), but is responsible for more than 90% of the standing mass of the whole universe. Perhaps, we can only guess, some of this dark matter is anti-matter, we cannot say. After all, we cannot see (detect) them precisely because we do not know what they are.
As for anti-matter, it only undergoes mutual annihilation when in contact with matter, in the process releasing tremendous amounts of energy. So far, the only anti-matter we have seen are those made in our labs (like the CERN), and we have seen the tremendous energy released when it undergoes mutual annihilation. When our earth meets its anti-earth, the two would annihilate each other and become no more, and energy proportional to those produced by supernova explotions would be released.

They are quite the same. There is no time so that gravity must make it. Matter cannot exist without anti-matter I believe God is Anti matter, and dark matter he is omnipresent and so is Dark matter, Dark matter saved earth from a cataclismic comet attack in the 1800's

Anti-count and dark count are thoroughly various issues. anti-count: debris that have an identical mass yet opposite charge of standard debris, like evil twins. The anti-particle of proton=anti-proton, the anti-particle of neutron=anti-neutron, the anti-particle of electron=positron. remember, anti-count has the alternative charge of usual count. So a proton has a helpful charge, anti-proton could have a adverse charge. Antimatter replaced into made out of the vast bang, the start of the universe, yet now antimatter isn't very substantial in the universe. the only antimatter all of us comprehend of is on the middle of our galaxy, or perhaps it extremely is not a lot. Scientists do no longer comprehend why there is extra usual count than antimatter. yet another element you may desire to comprehend, while count and antimatter collide it reasons a astonishing explosion. count and antimatter, while colliding will annihilate one yet another. So of an area deliver made out of usual count cashed right into an area deliver made out of antimatter the two might cave in in a astonishing explosion. there'll be no longer something left of them because of the fact all the debris might have destroyed one yet another. dark count: is a newly stumbled on rigidity that's pulling galaxies and different issues nearer to a minimum of one yet another. It replaced into very troublesome to hit upon. It in basic terms works on a extensive scale, so which you gained;t sense it on your room, on the planet. It does not even have an result on our image voltaic gadget. It in basic terms takes result on galactic scales. it extremely is the alternative of dark potential, which pushes element s far flung from one yet another. dark potential is the reason for the enlargement of the universe. dark count takes 23% of the universes count, dark potential is seventy 3%, so in basic terms 4% of the universe are usual atoms. some say the international will end with the aid of dark count. the thought is talked approximately as "the vast Crunch", and it is going like this. The universe will cave in in on itself, dark count will decelerate the enlargement of the universe, finally combating it and reversing it. The universe will settlement quite of advance, finally each and every thing will come mutually in a extensive crunch. some astronomers have self assurance black holes are a variety of dark count.

Better for WHAT?
In order to make comparisons you need to have standards upon which you base your decisions.
