Are some algorithms and data structure designs better than others? 

 The answer is yes. The answer is also no. 
I believe that the proper algorithm and data structure design is situational. One design is not better than the other. With that being said, I'd like to think of it as each design has a situation where it is the best option. Determining when to use what design comes with experience. Ask a few of your programming friends what design is the best and I guarantee that you will get a different answer from each one.
