Depends on how you look at it - from a production values standpoint Firefly completely blows away Farscape, it was a
highly stylized show that looked (and "felt") absolutely incredible with virtually no "cheese" (a rare achievement for a sci-fi show).
Thematically, Firefly, while very interesting, took great pains to ground itself in it's own diegetic (there's a vocab word for you) reality, with much emphasis on continuity and internal coherence. Farscape on the other hand, seemed to have taken up a one-show genre-busting crusade, consciously trying to get away from what's come to be expected of sci-fi shows (one great example of this is their lack of preachy morality plays that the star-treks and the star-gates are riddled with). Sometimes this worked, sometimes it didn't, but when it did, damn it was good. Firefly was just more consistently "good".
So I couldn't call one or the other "better", they are just different enough not to do that. Just my personal impression, of course.
