I2P is significanly better than Tor imho, mostly because it does not rely on
people's altruism to run the relay nodes, but rather gets people to participate
if they want to access the content. This in turn has the positive side-effect of
making it harder to determine your content, as you will be forwarding the
content of others and thus downloading it.
I2P does still have problem with things like correlation attacks, and it's
support of exit nodes is rather small (because there it does rely on altruism
and willingness to answer to authorities when something traceable and illegal
will go through your node). I don't really see how I2P will ever be able to deal
with the correlation attack and remain a real-life communication medium;
personally i am behind the approach that the Freenet Project has taken with the
distributed datastore, which (although makes it much harder to have dynamic
content) makes it impossible to determine the server of the information based
upon the up/down time patterns.
Having said that it's a bit unfair to compare Tor, I2P, and Freenet; as their
goals differ significantly. For Tor internal servers (onion sites) is an add-on,
while I2P is living on eepsites (.i2p), and Freenet has the goal of censorship
resistance as well as anonymity.
