Which is considered a better practice?

39,199 PointsNormalize.css is superior for a few reasons according to it's author:
- Normalize.css preserves useful defaults rather than "unstyling" everything.
- Normalize.css corrects some common bugs that are out of scope for reset.css.
- Normalize.css doesn't clutter your dev tools.
- Normalize.css is more modular.
- Normalize.css has better documentation.

Both of them can be considered "better" practice but that depends on what you are trying to use it for. You just use what works for you according to the needs of your project. You can read about "What is the difference between Normalize.css and Reset CSS?" from here.
