That's a huge question! There should be a pack with your starter forms that puts the two schemes side by side and compares the benefits of both - that should make it easier for you to figure out which is the one for you. If you still can't decide which is 'better', take the info sheets to someone who knows about pensions etc and ask them to explain it to you.
The civil service have a designated website for their pension scheme - search in google and have a read of the info there.
