That's really up to you. Buy whichever size and shape works for what you're carrying, and what color goes best with what you'll be using it with. "Better" is whatever works for YOU.
I love both style but I heard willis is on thw heavier side?.... I think like willis better because they're a bit bigger but I'm afraor that it might be too heavy for me..
It's a bit heavier than the Court but it's also a bit bigger. The Willis has more room vertically but the Court has more room on the bottom for thicker or wider items. I own 5 or 6 Willises and have no problem with the weight but I wear mine crossbody. The Court Bag strap is a bit too short for me to wear it that way. The size and shape of what you'll be carrying (phone, wallet, card case, checkbook, etc) also has to be considered. Check the measurements and remember that Coaches for some reason are smaller on the inside than they look.
Other posters may have other opinions, or you could check at the main Coach forum here, either in the main thread or under the Clubhouse - Vintage Photos and Chat threads. If you search for "Court Willis" you may find more posts and opinions. Everyone has certain reasons for liking specific bags.
Here's a post from the Vintage thread that makes good reading. The post she's replying to also has some things to consider.

I have one of each. I love them both. I can fit my iPad and lunch in my Willis but it is a bit heavier (empty I mean) than the Court. The Court is my favorite and it fits what I need most of the time. I carry them both crossbody but I love the tophandle.
I'm really stuck between the two...i carry a lot almost every day aw I have 2 small kids but hate carrying extra weight as I have back pain....I love but style...[emoji18]
I don't think the Willis would be too heavy. I have shoulder issues myself and I don't find it too heavy. The Court is just super light.
I have both and space wise, Willis has more room. I just used my Court bag for the past 3 days, its a good sized crossbody, one I can wear for longer periods vs. the regular sized Dinky for example, but to stay in it for an extended amount of time, I prefer the Patricia's Legacy or the Sheridan Monticello - if we are talking vintage that can be worn crossbody.
