Is AES better than RC4

[James A. Donald]

     --
AES is new, and people keep claiming progress towards
breaking it, without however, so far producing any
breaks.

RC4 is old and has numerous known weaknesses, which are
tricky to code around, and have caught many an
implementor - notice for example Wifi.  But these are
known weaknesses, and no new ones have turned up for
some time, nor does it seem likely that they will.
