Both have their pros and cons. Anime has the obvious benefit of music to emphasize emotion and voice acting to bring new life to characters. Manga, on the other hand, has the benefit of traditionally having a more focused story line, due to not having to worry about cutting/adding filler in order to meet a 13/26 episode count. Also, you can typically get through the material covered in a single anime episode much faster by reading the manga.
