Hello yes extraction is always better in case of wisdom tooth. Because it's the only tooth in the mouth which is of no use. It only creates problem. Because as the age will advance the cheeks will sag and then you will have cheek biting and pain. So to avoid that better to get it removed.

wisdom tooth may cause recurrent infections .As it has no role in chewing thats why extraction is a better option.
