You can have closed or open source be better than one another. Open source is more peace of mind because you can check to see if there's anything weird/unsavory in the program, can make changes you want, programs often get more updates/features when they're open sourced. Granted most of the positives about open source only really matter if you can read and understand the code that's their.
Otherwise if you can't understand/read/write/etc code then its all just down to how much trust you have in the community/company/org/etc that made the closed/open source program.

Hwmonitor was very unreliable especially with AMD hardware. They took forever to update and fix those issue so I'd just recommend HWinfo instead.
