DRM Books apply Restrictions on how you can use them (Thats where the name comes from Digital Restriction Management ;-) )

So seen from the author of the book the DRM ebook is better as it allow the author to manage the rights that the user has.

From the point of the reader the non DRM ebooks do not have any restrictions. So you can do whatever you want and the book can not deny it.

If you are a reader and want that your device helps you to not violate the intellectual property rights that the author wants to impose on his work than using a DRM book is better, as you will be sure to only get what the author wants you to have. If the author forgets to grant you rights that you would have then you will not be able to execute these rights.

Another point to take into considerations is that DRM systems might be connected to the company you by the books from. So once this company shuts down it's book selling part or goes completely out of business you could end up in a situation where you can not read the books you bought. This can not happen with DRM free books.
