You do still need a hell or something like that if there is an afterlife, it's like how we have prisons and things, I'm not sure if it has to be eternal though. The problem in traditional Christianity is that everyone without exception deserves infinite torment from birth but God grace prevents Christians from suffering that fate because Christ died to free them from the bondage of their sin. At least in the Islamic system you're born with a clean slate then God judges whether you are "good enough" for the 72 virgin package deal. Unfortunately being "good enough" means you have to pray to Mecca five times daily, eat halal food, fasting during Ramadan, enter doorways with your right foot first, when entering a bathroom you have to cover your head enter with your left foot and say 'O Allah I seek your protection from the male and female devils.' while ensuring no-one sees you pee. So it's not so easy to decide which system is better, in Christianity you don't technically have to do anything.
