Having all the pleasure in the world that you are a human being who has worth? The 2nd choice would obviously be better because you obviously, again, would be a mere emotionless robot with no pleasure with just a thought. The concept of something being "better" means more worth. Therefore, since having pleasure would be better than just having a thought with no pleasure, you would have no worth if you had no pleasure.
Better in what regard? "Better" is not equivalent to "having more worth".
A car is better than a human being in getting us to places. But a human being is better than a car in giving us advices.
