Custom Tags are more advanced and flexible than standard jsp tags, such as <jsp:useBean ../> Custom tag libraries make it possible to create business logic that is almost completely hidden from the presentation layer.
Beans, however, can also make for a cleaner, less cluttered JSP page. For example, a bean's properties can be automatically set by parameter values from a client request. Beans also have scope, which means they can be used per request, between pages, per session, or even throughout an entire application.
As far as which is better... well that depends on what you would like to do. Both beans and custom tags have their place in jsp.

Indeed. In fact, the question doesn't make much sense to me. It's like asking "what's better in a Java class, variables or statements?"
Beans are used to hold information for a JSP page, usually as scoped variables. Custom tags, and standard tags such as the JSTL, are used to operate upon this data.
It isn't an either-or situation.
