Depends on the type of pain. Ibuprofen (advil) is an anti-inflammatory, so if you have a toothache, a respiratory infection, a UTI, etc.. then it would be better. However, it causes stomache problems, and is a blood thinner. So if you have a blood disorder, or an ulcer, don't take it.

Acetominophen (tylenol) is just fine for everything else.

Also, if you're asking about it for a child, you should know that babies under 6 months shouldn't take ibuprofen w/o a Dr's advice.
