Robots.txt is better compared to meta robots tag.

It depends on your use of these things. Because robot.txt files are used to disallow your whole section or the whole website. With meta robots, you can disallow a single file or single page. So, It depends on you what you want.

meta robots tag also ensures that your link equity is not being lost, with the use of the 'follow' command.

Robots.txt files are best for disallowing a whole section of a site, pages, folder, category.

meta tag is more efficient at disallowing single files and pages.

Robots.txt file just hides the file and tries to make sure Google doesn’t crawl it.

Robots Meta Tag with nofollow and noindex attributes on the page prevents Google from indexing it and from showing it on Google. Though Google can see the page, it doesn’t crawl it and submit its content for indexation. Google doesn’t pass any ranking or SEO value to it.
