I find usb-c generally better. faster charging, as you've pointed out. I find the connections usually a lot more secure too. I have one cord in my car for android auto that's a finicky little bitch, though, and I'm about to yeet that thing, if I ever remember to replace it. All of my other cords have held up well, and it's really nice to have the ability to charge all of my devices with one cord.
