It really isn't "better", per se, in the way that it works - all soluble fiber supplements are going to *function* the same way in the body. However, acacia is the only one that's organic, it's got more soluble fiber per tbsp than any of the others (meaning that you take less, comparatively), and it can be stirred into food rather than just liquids. The biggest benefit is the dosage, though - you'd have to take an awful lot of fibercon (or any other tablet) to equal what's in a tablespoon of acacia. (Remember that the recommended dosage of SFS is 12-15g a day... if your tablet contains 500mg fiber, that's 24-30 tablets a day!!)
Mostly, people choose SFS's based on personal tolerance and preference. Some fibers react differently in different bodies. For example, I couldn't tolerate Citrucel (methylcellulose), but I can take FiberChoice (inulin) just fine.
Hope that helps!
