Depends on what you mean by "better". I don't wear liquid foundation at all because I don't like how it looks or feels on me, but I'll wear mineral/powder foundation sometimes for a finished and polished look (by my standards, anyway). So it's better for me. But both liquid and minerals have their pros and cons that you have to consider.

I think mineral foundation is healthier for your skin and more breathable. My favorite is the Aveda pressed mineral powder. It covers really well too!

Mineral foundation, especially when pure, just sit in the superficial layer of your skin still allowing your skin to breathe. non mineral foundation can penetrate the skin and clog the pores. Some high quality minerals can actually improve and condition your skin!
