One is not so much better than the other - they each have entirely different purposes.

A PLA archive is to include all related library parts and textures (etc) in a single file for moving to another machine or for archiving at the end of a project. It will be very much larger than a PLN, which should be the workaday file format - unless you have reasons to use TeamWork.
