First I think both approval voting and ranked choice are both vastly superior to first past the post.
Ranked choice does have some weak points and can create some non optimal outcomes on occasion. Approval voting has its own distortions and issues too though.
I’m personally a little undecided about which one I like better. It might make the most sense to use different voting systems for different types of elections to minimize sub optimal outcomes and avoid their respective weaknesses as much as possible. But honestly I don’t care, either is great, anything except first past the post please.
