There is no "better" or "worse." All depends on what you want. Gear drive(even when engine isnt't running) or a trans that relies on hydraulic pressure on clutch-disks.
Powershift robs a little engine power and fuel efficiency - but only by a little. Powershift uses an extra 5-7 horsepower just to power itself. So, the injection-pump has to be turned up to make up for that. As a result the PS models gets a little worse efficiency.
