MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the container that should be used to store AAC  streams.

aac, mp4, m4a, m4b, m4v, m4p,....

They all use an AAC encoder. Quality only depends on which encoder is used (like Apple AAC or Nero AAC). The filetype itself is just a package for the encoded audio.

Well, the question was which was better: AAC or MP4.

The long answer is that MP4 is a container that stores data; that data is encoded in AAC.  The container does not affect the quality of the data, and is not an encoding format, so AAC cannot be compared with MP4 in such a fashion.  Think of MP4 as a box and AAC as what's inside  .
