The questioner asks: Is memorizing the Qur'an better than reciting it, or is it the other way around?

Both are required: memorization and recitation. Recitation can be done from memory or by looking at the mushaf.

He should set aside a time from the night or the day for memorization, and use the rest for recitation, whether he reads from memory or by looking at the mushaf. Yes.
