Roni,
You don't say what you are trying to accomplish. Better for what? If you are trying to achieve better page rank (webrank, etc) absolute linking is the way to go. Think in the terms of pages and not sites. By not using absolute linking, you will split up your page rank between http://www.yourdomain.com/ and http://yourdomain.com/. Search engines can and do see the same page as two different urls. It it depends on how YOU link them all together.
