Honestly neither one of them are particularly my favorite, but if I had to choose which one was better for him, I would choose Clara for many reasons. One, when she met him she just didn't automatically jump into the TARDIS just because he invited her and disregarded everything else in her present life unlike Rose when she just ran into the TARDIS without a second thought as to the consequences of her actions would do to everyone else that she left behind at home. Another reason was that Rose was to possessive and obsessive of the Doctor and often got jealous when other women had shown interest in him and vice versa when in actuality the Doctor never belonged to her in the first place. She also acted like she couldn't move on and live a normal human life after her time with the Doctor ended (acting like it was a fate worse than death) and personally I think that she was the driving force behind the Medusa Cascade fiasco mainly by statements that she gave herself and her actions and words before she was stuck on Pete's World the first time obviously reflects her selfishness. Whereas Clara, in my opinion, was a better choice for the Doctor because she could actually live her life without the Doctor being there all of the time and was wary and cautious of him because she had just met and she didn't trust him. All in all, I think that Clara was more mature an independent than Rose and with the Doctor's seeming immaturity, Clara seems to be the better choice so far.
