Depends on the material, and what you mean by "better".

Tubular or billet what? Better for what?

From a strength perspective:

Worst: tubular aluminum
Better: billet aluminum
Better still: tubular steel
Best: billet steel (though I don't think anyone actually makes this)

From an appearance perspective, most people agree that the billet aluminum ones look the best. However, the LCA is a hard-to-see part so personally I don't think that matters much.

If you want an adjustable LCA, then you are pretty much locked into a tubular design. Nobody makes billet adjustable LCAs.
