Neither is better than the other. They just both do different things. Confederations are good for when you want to maintain a few smaller meshed networks and not one whole mesh of everything. They are also good for if two AS need to join for some reason.
RRs are good when you dont want to make a full mesh. Have one router connected to all other peers (assuming one RR) and all the peers just connect to the one RR instead of every peer - easier to maintain the neighbour relationships. In practical terms - on your real network. "It depends" Bear in mind RRs do not need to be in the traffic forwarding path so you could almost make any router your RR. Not just the one that sits in the middle of your network somewhere or the on on your border.
