I'd say AC is better, on the basis that it's not Spider-Verse.
I'm only half joking, I kinda hate Spider-Verse.
AC started pretty fun, but gradually got worse, and it ended as just okay at best, mediocre at worst, its consequences can be interesting to see though.

Spider-Verse was better. I can't stand stories that focus on symbiotes (there're exceptions like ASM #300 and Venom by Remender). I thought maybe Cates's writing and Stegman's pencils could get me to stand them. I was dead wrong

absolute carnage i enjoy the character moments between peter and eddie alot I see them as Brothers now. But in spider-verse they had a few moments like Peter telling Otto he was superior but I thought Slott would've made Peter a little more special like how during Turtles Forever when the 2003 and 1987 turtles met the old comic variant. I wanted a moment like that but no he is just a Spider who lucky manage to beat Morlun nothing else.

Spider-Verse is a pretty low bar comparison-wise.

Neither is great but Absolute Carnage has more interesting character beats and advanced the story and plot of venom.

Absolute Carnage is the superior book.
It felt shorter, I didn't need to read a tie-in, Revamp Carnage is a much better villain than a family of lame steam-punk vampires, and it felt like there was genuine stakes for our heroes. Sure some things don't quite work but we didn't have things getting pulled out of its ass last minute like Spiderverse and it doesn't sell you on nostalgia and the gimmick of watching your favorite characters die horribly (killing Spider-man and his Amazing friends accomplishes what exactly?).-----------------------------------
For anyone that needs to know why OMD is awful please search the internet for Linkara' s video's specifically his One more day review or his One more day Analysis.

Sums it up just about perfectly, and like Revolutionary_Jack said, it actually advanced the protagonist's story and character.
