Which is the better way to value my donations, let turbo tax value them or value them myself?

Personally, I've always just taken the Itsdeductible valuations. Whatever valuation you use, you will need to be able to support your number in case of an audit. Presumably with Itsdeductible there would be some sort of rational/empirical basis. Otherwise you would need to have evidence to support your number.
