user11009: Buddha never said that nihilism is better than eternalism.
What he said was that people who take Rupa as self is more sensible than the people who take Nama as self because the mind is changing faster than the matter.

It's actually the reverse as Nihilism comes under Niyata-micca ditti. It both blocks the path to heavens and blocks the path to Nibbana. That is why it is called Saggavarana, whereas eternalism is only called Maggavarana(blocks the path to Nibbana)
