I think Power Ponies was (just slightly) better than Equestria Games, and that largely has to do with the way the moral is delivered. In Equestria Games, right at the end, Twilight exposits the moral to dispel the conflict. It also doesn't help that the episode basically had to seal ponies' magic for Spike to save to day. It gives off the impression that Spike is only useful when everyone else is unable to do anything.

Because of that, I think Power Ponies is better.

But I really like Equestria Games. After all, Spike trying to be useful isn't the point of the moral, so it's not like the episode completely misses.
