The corresponding bounds for the variant structures we construct do result in lower false-positive rates than a standard Bloomfilter - so, in that sense, you could say that they are better. However, they also require more space, striking a slightly different theoretical trade-off between space and accuracy.
For practical purposes, you would have to take the effect of caches into account, and the performance may vary depending on the particular choice of hardware. Our work stuck mainly to the theoretical side, so we didn't do any empirical testing of these new data structures. I guess the jury is still out on whether these variants are actually better in practice than the existing ones.
