They are both fully supported with drivers readily available. For the Orbbec Astra drivers, see this package. For the Kinect 360 see this package. The better camera is simply the one with the better performance characteristics that suit your application. This includes the depth image size, depth range, field of view etc. I'm not sure what an Astra costs, but 360 Kinects can be picked up very cheap second hand.
