Depends on the model in question.
They are broadly equivalent (both turbines).
The gear reducer in turboprop is one extra finicky thing that adds to maintenance and overhaul however....compared to "cleaner" configuration of turbofan.
Smaller size of turboprop also makes it more somewhat more difficult in some procedures as well.
So maybe overall I will give turbofan slight edge especially when taking into account its thrust/size, thrust/weight and thrust/moving part
When its a non-western (i.e Russian) engine, you can throw all of what I said out the window and it becomes very random
@PARIKRAMA
Thanks for the info dude!
It will be a new technology for TNI-AU if they will decide to acquire turbofan cargo planes.
