Better how?
Video and audio quality are essentially identical. Both store and will output 1080p/24fps video (or lower resolution). Both use the same advanced audio formats.
See the first link for a comparison. Each has areas where it is at least theoretically "better", (e.g. bitrates, storage capacity, mandatory features), but none make a practical difference.
Arguably HD DVD is a more mature and stable hardware platform (Blu-ray has only just adopted the 2nd stage of a 3 stage specification). And lower end HD DVD players (1080i output rather than 1080p … but you can’t tell the difference on most HDTVs) are less expensive than Blu-ray.
But it’s pretty much a wash.
I suspect, depending on what each of you mean by "better" you are both right.
See the second link for a NY times article that pretty much sums it up …. both HD DVD and Blu-ray are most likely fated to remain niche formats endorsed by those able to benefit and willing to pay the premium prices associated.
