I was recently pushed to switch from brine to mysis shrimp on the basis of more protein. I had the local store order in some 8 ounce flats of mysis. The guaranteed Analysis is protein 6.0% Crude Fat 0.4% Fiber 0.8%, Moisture at 90.5% which is really the almost exact same as my brine I was getting. San Francisco Bay Brand Sallys on 32 ounce flats, and Sallys Fozen Mysis Shrimp. Ok I looked at another brand its at petsmart by Hikari, brine is bosting 6.8% protein, fat 1.5%, fiber 1.2% guaranteed, and the mysis is really high at 10.5% protein, fat 1.0%, fiber 2.0%. Now is this crap exagerated for protein that one brand is actually almost twice in high in protein as the other?

Better, I'm not sure because it depends what you consider better. You'll probably have a more complete nutritional package in ground up fresh shrimp and it will be a lot cheaper. However, you'll have to deal with the mess.
In my 210g tank, I used to feed shrimp, scallop, crab and fish, all fresh from the seafood store, I almost never fed "processed" foods like mysis or brine or krill, I just stuck with fresh.
