I'd say neither is "better." Need implies must have - I need air. Want implies would be nice - I want a donut. The words have different definitions so it is hard to judge which is better. If we only get what we need, life is dull. If we get everything we want but not what we need, life is dangerous.
I struggle with deciding when to apply each of these. Do I *want* those shoes...or do I *NEED* those shoes...?
