I don't know that either is better. But I think people are generally happier if something isn't essential to them.
That being said, I quite like needing people. And I sort of like when people need me. Remember that pang the first time your kid made his/her own lunch, or any of the other multitude of times that they take steps towards needing us less? We're so happy for them, but there's a sadness to not being needed too.
