Which is a better Rocket fuel liquid or soild ?

Depends, like most things.  A solid motor is much
simpler in design.  Liquids deliver higher ISP. The
shuttle uses both, for instance, to maximize the
benefits from each.

Do you have a specific application context?

Sometimes, one is better than the other, sometimes it's the other way
around.

For plastic bottle rockets, liquid is better.

Yea team. This is the culmination of years, nay, decades of work by Gary
Rosenfield and Bill Stine.

Big congrats.
