Oof... I mean, it's not a matter of "if" a client doesn't like your work but really a matter of "when".
Inevitably you're going to run into a client who is dissatisfied with the art direction / logo / website design / etc...
Of course nobody wants to be told their work sucks, or it's off the mark, or that you let someone down, or whatever... but it's a part of the industry. Either you can take the criticism or you can't.
IMO as long as you feel strongly about the direction and design provided you should never feel 'bad' about work you've created... unless you consciously went against the clients preferences.
Again, better is subjective. Try to ask as many questions as you can as to why the client didn't liket he particular direction / design / artwork you presented them. Too often whether or not someone 'likes' something boils down to subjective preferences that are not always logically related to the content you are authoring.
