* Pib works with the INDEX file in /usr/ports and is targeted at ports
  maintenance. 

* Package Browser works with the packages/ports that are installed on
  your box and is targeted at packages (ports is a next chapter in
  its development).

* Package Browser can also be used by people who don't have a ports 
  tree. 

As you can see, the two programs are completely different so it is
hard to tell which one works "better".
