The word 'better' lacks impact because it isn't specific. The smarter word to use depends upon the context and ought to carry specific meaning. Some examples will help.
Do not say, "He is a better student than the others," when you can explain why he excels by saying, for example, "He studies harder than the others," or "He is more intelligent than the others," or "His calculations are faster than the others."
Go back to the sentence where you were considering 'better,' decide why the person or thing you describe is superior, and then use that reason following the examples in the previous paragraph.

Give us the sentence.
It could be superior, improved, preferred -- it depends on context.
