Either way, both the anime and the manga are popular works for a reason. The decision as to which one is better will depend on the personal reference of the reader or watcher. Most of the time, the manga contains more details about the characters and the world-building, whereas the anime provides a deeper attachment to the characters through animations, voice acting, and music. Of course, fans of Attack on Titan can read the manga and watch the anime at the same time too. There is also other content from the franchise that fans can enjoy such as light novels, live-action and musical adaptations, and video games.
