This is a tough question to answer. Unfortunately the answer it 'it depends'. There is no better delay pedal type. Analog has it's advantages, keeping your signal analog rather than needing to convert it to digital and then back again. Analog delays usually produce a naturally warm delay. Digital delays are much more dynamic, you can change almost anything. They can be set to a longer delay than most analog pedals. Digital delays are probably better for those who don't have a preference.
