Which one is better depends on your needs. Choosing the Right Storage Engine gives a very high level overview of the two (MyRocks is particularly good for compression), but you should take a more detailed look at the documentation to evaluate depending on your use case, for example, MyRocks can take more columns than InnoDB, but MyRocks doesn't work with Galera, while InnoDB does. Both storage engines are stable, but InnoDB, as the default, is more widely-used and tested.
