Some people have bad reactions to PG, so they need VG. Of course, VG is really too thick to use alone, so you need to cut it with something like distilled water or pure gain alcohol (or vodka in a pinch). VG is also sweeter. Personally, I like a 50/50 mix.
PG - more of this = taste + TH, can be harsh at 100%, some people find htey are sensitive to it. Has been tested since the 1940s and is found in everything from toothpaste to children's medicine.
VG - more of this = Vapor, can add a little sweetness, can soften flavors.
BOTH are humectants, meaning they draw and hold water (moisture) to themselves from their surroundings (which is why they make a good carrier liquid) but as a vaper that will include YOU so drink drink drink.
Personally I go with an 80/20 PG/VG mix

There's really no "better." In terms of safety, both are quite safe, and in things you use on and in your body every day. Apart from the occasional person with a PG allergy (which I have never heard of being extreme, and is somewhat rare), I have heard of no adverse reactions.
PG gives more flavor, a stronger throat hit, and less vapor.
VG gives more vapor, a gentler throat hit, and less flavor.
Personally, I prefer more PG. I love the vapor of VG, but I love a strong flavor and solid throat hit more. PG is also thinner, and I notice that liquids with lots of VG tend to gunk up my cartos slightly faster than PG liquids.
Everyone will have different preferences. Just get a few samplers and see what you like.

Yes to all the above...
For me, I started with PG 90%, VG 10%...but since, have moved more towards vapor so using a 70% PG , 30% VG....So for me, that is part of my "Sweet Spot" you hear people on this forum talk about....Enjoy the Adventure...
