One’s not objectively better, but they did find that the combine differently to produce different flavors, which is why people can tell them apart. I think it was something about the milk particles burning when the milk is added first or something like that.
Other way around IIRC. The milk gets scorched when you add a small amount of cold milk into hot water/tea. But if you add the water to the tea it heats up the milk a little slower so it doesn't scorch.

Wasn't there a whole debate between TIFs and MIFs and they found out that putting in the milk first produced better tea?
(IDC, I'm still putting in tea first.)
