It is very probably "better" in the sense of remaining compatible with 
various OpenVPN and OpenSSL versions; Ctrl-F the online OpenVPN 
reference manuals for more info.

"Better" as in more resistant to cryptanalysis ... no idea. People 
around me tend to value the recommendations of the BSI more than my 
CYA-fu and cipherpunkness, anyway. Try https://www.schneier.com/ for a 
second opinion.
