I think it depends on what you mean by "better" as they are both good for you and are both EFA (essentail fatty acids). If you are having problems with cold sweats or night sweats then EPO is good. If you want more CM (cervical mucus) then EPO is good.
I don't see any harm in taking them both together. In the spring I was taking EPO capsules and putting Flaxseed oil in my morning shakes.

I take Flax Seed Oil Gelcaps. Good EFAs for all sorts of things related to and unrelated to PCOS. I've been taking them for a couple years and total cholesterol has gone down 10% (wasn't high to start with, but lower is better).

I take 2-1000 mg caps AM and PM-- total of four a day.
