If the specific triadic G-over-F voicing is crucial, and it's above slash marks, G-over-F is your best bet. If the precise arrangement of notes in the voicing can be left to the discretion of the player, or if it's just a label above a piano part that's already fully-written out, "F6/9(#11)" is better.
What he said. But:
I mean which would a musician understand better
As a guitarist I would immediately recognize and be able to play F6/9(#11), but I would have to sit around and think about the G-over-F notation.
I obviously can't speak for other guitarists on this, but it's a notation I've seen early and often.
I think that most keyboard players (of which I am minimally one) would recognize either notation, but would assume that you were asking specifically for a particular voicing (F chord in the bass and G chord in the treble) with the G-over-F notation.
Specifying the target instrument and musical genre might help someone provide a more definitive answer.
