In my opinion there is no better or worst comparison, as both sizes will do the job equally as well.
You may get a marginally more comfortable ride on the 17's due to the higher profile tire, however if you're choosing to go with Run-Flat tires, then comfort differences will likely be unnoticeable.
I use winter tires for about 5 months in the year, I don't want my car to look like crap for 1/2 of the year, on steel wheels or smaller diameter rims. which is why I chose to go with the 18" over the 17".
17' will cost less, but 18' look better.
