Welch's and Burg's method are very different approaches to spectrum estimation and both have their pros and cons. Burg can be better if fewer samples are available, but one has to be careful when choosing the filter order (model complexity). These questions are best answered in detail in the very good book by Stoica/Moses "Spectral Analysis of Signals", Prentice Hall, 2005.
