Quick answer
If you expect to be in a higher tax bracket in retirement, a Roth IRA is generally better (pay tax now at a lower rate). If you expect to be in a lower bracket, a traditional IRA saves you more (deduct now at a higher rate). For many people, having both provides tax diversification, flexibility to draw from either account depending on your tax situation each year.
