One is not "better" than the other as sudo and PolicyKit do two
completely different things.  sudo is a command used to run other
commands as root.  PolicyKit allows services that ( typically, but not
necessarily ) are already running as root to accept requests to
perform actions via DBUS in a restricted way.
