whichever one you want to play, haha, thats just a personal opition...but i think bones are better, can hit the same notes, but yet trombone also means trumpet so there really isn`t any better since they basicly are the same instument (saprano bone) so yah...there both almost the same, different octives though

The trombone is NOT a trumpet. Closely related? Yes - but not the same.
The slide makes a big difference in the way trombones sound and play. I`ve played a soprano trombone before and it is not the same as a trumpet. The soprano trombone, although similar in sound to the trumpet has a noticably clearer, warmer timbre. The feel and blow of the instrument is certainly more open than a trumpet as well.
Also, if a trombone is a trumpet, then how do you explain valve trombones and bass trumpets? They are not the same instruments...

and what does that have to do with the types of use a trombone is put to ??
Screaming with a trombone is something which isnt really called for (ok maybe occasionally used) but hardly something worth wasting your practice time on.
have any of you ever even tried to play trumpet (seriously)
I know how to play both istruments well. how can you posibly be able to compare the two when you don't play them both. none of you know what your talking about. it depends entierly on what you mean by better.
the trumpet however is the same as the trombone but up an octive note wise. but they both have there own charateristic sounds
The trombone is NOT the same as a trumpet but bigger. It's name means "large trumpet", yes, but that is where the similarities end.
The trombone has evolved from the Sackbut, and is also called Posaune, trombón, Pasuuna, Puzon, Basun, as well as others. So, the name doesn't define what it is, only where the name comes from. Aside from both being predominantly cylindrical brass instruments, there aren't many comparisons.
Oh yeah, and I agree with you that neither one is "better" or "worse" than the other. Those are simply opinions, and everyone has one of those. (Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and no one likes the smell of anyone elses...)
