That view is too teleological, as if there's a "better". I could see both being advantageous, depending on conditions. The "hibernators" would have a caloric or metabolic advantage should there be harsh conditions and little need to go out and face said conditions when finding food would essentially be fruitless. But given modern conditions that's not quite as advantageous now though could be in the future should we have caloric restraints and one's presupposed to "hibernating" the metabolism to some extent.
