I wouldn't say that the buzzing bridge system is better, myself. It really depends on the kind of music you're going to play. The Hungarian system works really well for syncopated twos, but for threes and even fours it doesn't work so well. The technique is totally different for the two: the Hungarian dog uses the wrist to control it while the French-style uses the fingers. I prefer playing the Hungarian style myself, but it won't work for everything.
