I have always preferred BSD-style ports trees, which emphasize building the packages from source code. Easier to patch the source when needed, when adapting (porting) the package to a new environment. This made it easier to adapt large collections of packages to new versions of macOS. Or to adopt the latest version of a package. Easier for integration testing for my application. It doesn't surprise me at all that MacPorts has a larger collection of packages than HomeBrew. My other ride is Gentoo Linux. :-)
