It is not necessarily better, but it's more a mater of what is correct.
The 1099-NEC is used to report independent contractor income. The 1099-MISC is used to report miscellaneous income such as rent or payments to an attorney.
If you post the 1099-MISC under Other Common Income the program will determine if it is taxable, and if it is subject to self-employment tax.
A 1099-NEC typically will be taxable and subject to self-employment tax. The 1099-NEC should be posted to Self-Employed.
