Matroska is better.

(Actually, it kinda depends on what you want to do with the file. Most(?) hardware players do not support Matroska, thus AVI would be a better option, if you intend to watch your videos on a hardware player. If you want H.264, AVI is a bad option.)

Take a look at these:
- Comparison of container formats
- The "What the heck is MKV and what can I do about it?" thread
