I would not rate one as better or higher, etc. There are different realms, and aspirants aligned with those energies, when qualified, reside there. There is Rudraloka of Rudra, Kailasa of Sadashiva, Mahakaliasa of Mahasadashiva, Goloka of Krishna, Saketa-dhama of Narayana or Vishnu, Manidvipa of the Goddess, Durgaloka of Siddhas who are adept at Durga related practices, etc. There are such myriad worlds. In the West (today), there is no concept of polytheism, so everything is always mapped to one model where the aspirant ascends a universal model to get the One god. This is not true with Eastern metaphysics at all. We need to stop interpreting the Eastern mysticism through the simplisitic and linear lens of monotheistic framework.
Even before the Theosophists and New Agers driven by theosophical concepts came up with mappings aligend with mumbo-jumbo that made sense to linear Western-conditioned minds, sectarians in India had already attempted to do that - Shaiva Puranas define a hierarchy of realms, of course placing Shiva’s realms above other realms, and Vaishnavas did the same, battling with each other.
So I would not waste time with unnecessary mappings and comparisons of what is higher than what else as such thinking is precisely what will ensure that one never experiences any of these realms. We just need to appreciate that we have an opportunity to experience and benefit from these energies, be full of gratitude to these divine and compassionate entities as well Dream for making it available. All of these realms are ultimate ones depending on the person, or none of them if the goal is the formless, nameless pure Nothingness which the Veda describes as na tatra sūryo bhāti na candratārakaṃ - Neither does the sun shine there, nor the moon with all the stars, nor does this lightning shine.
There was a realized saint in India in the early part of this century who once witnessed a long debate of whether Shiva’s loka is higher than Vishnu’s or vice versa. He remarked - “you guys are not even traveling faster than a bullock cart on your spiritual journey, and you are debating which realm is higher than the other, as though you are anywhere closer to getting there… And moreover, wasted the last few hours debating that, while you could’ve gotten somewhere, at least in the material world. Reach one of them first, and if you do, then you can decide whether you are satisfied or want to go higher”…
So the debate is an old one and will continue
