I guess it depends on what you mean by "better".
A dual exhaust with no cross - over pipe is imho a "cop-calling stereo system", (to borrow and old phrase). It is loud, resonates, and reverbarates in imho an unpleasant manner.
A dual exhaust with a cross over pipe sounds pretty much like a single...... the sound pulses seem to cancel each other out, somewhat. Imo its slightly quieter, resonates less and is more pleasant to live with.
Personally, I am a big fan of a well-designed single exhaust. It's neat, compact, runs hotter, with less condensation for a longer lifespan, quieter and, if well designed, flows enough for performance.
(That being said, about half my cars have duals
)
