Superior in what sense? There is no inherent superiority in either format (the terminology is misleading, though), so unless upstream is deliberately adding features to the OTF files that are not in the TTF ones, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference, looking at upstream web page I see nothing that would suggest that, and given that the fonts are autotraced from bitmaps I doubt the choice of splines type makes much difference.
