What do you mean "which"? The version on "A Class Act" compared to the one in the original show Kleban wrote it for?

there's a Kander & Ebb "Better" song in FUNNY LADY the movie...

Hmm there is at least a original version of the song available. I think at least on the "25 years drg records" cd.
But any other I don't know of.

Nope, the Kander/Ebb song is "Isn't this better?" slightly different.

That'll be the one that is asked for in comparism I guess. Well the answer - of course - is: the Kleban song. Sondheim included them in his "Songs i wish i would have written"

Two Broadway showtunes that I know of have the title "Better."

A CLASS ACT has one. LITTLE WOMEN has the other.
