I think groff is better because it has more formatting options available in it than nroff.
nroff (short for "new roff") is a Unix text-formatting program; it produces output suitable for simple fixed-width printers and terminal windows. It is an integral part of the Unix help system, being used to format man pages for display.
There is also a free software version of nroff in the groff package.
groff is the GNU replacement for the troff and nroff text formatters.
Groff contains a large number of helper programs, preprocessors, and postprocessors including eqn, tbl, pic and soelim
There are also several macro packages included that duplicate, expand on the capabilities of, or outright replace the standard troff macro packages.
so groff is better..........
