USE BOTH... neither is better than the other as they're both built to be used in tandem... create your detailed vector work / icons... anything you might output as svg down the road in Illustrator.
If you're just doing simple line-art style graphics for your site (and type) then you're fine designing / outputing from Illustrator. If you need more raster love in your design then use photoshop.
Keep this in mind: If you want to work w/other designers / developers you should almost ALWAYS output a PSD regardless if it's your preference... it's still the industry's preferred layout app for anything web. Every agency / shop I still work with uses the term PSD on a regular basis... very rarely does someone ask I set up a web page for them in Illustrator.
Times are changing though... you can use illustrator far more freely and output plenty w/it... just make sure you can work w/your colleagues at the same time.
