Ms. Pac-Man was definitely a better game overall, and in fact in the US I believe it was the best selling arcade game of all time in terms of revenue. In fact, here in the US, it's the only classic arcade game, often in combination with Galaga (it's a dual cabinet: http://www.quarterarcade.com/Game.aspx/577?m=1), that you'll find with regularity in places that have arcade machines, which are typically just light gun, environmental/ride style and a few fighting games.
While there are many arguments to be made about how to do a sequel - some say just incremental improvements, others say start over - Ms. Pac-Man is definitely a case of the former done to perfection. It's Pac-Man improved just enough in every way that was necessary.
