Its hard to dilineate these two specific points to determine which is "better".

Both the "Splinter was Hamato Yoshi" and "Splinter was Yoshi's pet" points exist within the framework of their respective stories. The Splinter being a rat point makes sense and is appropriate for the original Mirage storyline, as is the Hamato Yoshi arch in the old cartoon.

Thus, you can't actually separate the two from the greater story they are a part of. What we are really comparing is the Mirage/RPG/movie/new cartoon origin story vs. the old cartoon/Archie origin story.

The older, Mirage story is obviously a better tale with greater depth and intrigue in it. The old cartoon story was just made for little kiddies, because it didn't involve murder like the Mirage one.
