I have been at this hobby for about 2 1/2 years. Have done a lot of home work.
I use rh and slic3r most of the time . I like it and prefer it. however there have been some files that I have run across that just would not slice with slic3r or would not fully print. Think headless poodle.
ran the same file though the cura in rh and worked better . I say better because i had to learn to tune the cura software. So i personally am more comfortable with and prefer Slic3r.
ON the flip side I have a friend who owns a 3d printing and filament store . I consider him a real expert in 3d printing. He is a big Ultimaker fan and Ultimaker dealer. He uses cura and teaches cura.
He also sells simpilfy3D software . this would be a third choice.
The question you present is akin to is ford or Chevy better or Windows vs Mac OS. They both do basically do the same thing. Function and design similar . but controls are a bit different and the feel is different.
IMHO it comes down to what system you learned first and were taught on. Why do you think software companies give deep educationa discounts or free licences on software.
So yes cura is a good choice as is simlify 3d or slic3r. Another one that has a good rep is craftware . I have a copy but have not messed with it much. Have yet to do a print with it. ulitmatley you need to decide what is best for you . There have been several articles on the web on this subject . Do a google search and they will pop up. Toms guides revues seem to be a good source of info and an honest independent review.
