No system of legitimate Martial Art is inherently better than another (unless it is a real system verses one of the fraudulent schools). How strong a system of self defense can be is completely dependant on the person training in it, and the quality of instruction.
Keep in mind that some schools are more focused on "sport" while others are more reality based for practical self defense application.
There are TKD schools that are more traditional and focus on more balanced training, but you need to ask, and it is probably best to watch the advanced students and Black Belts in action. Taekwondo traditionally places a greater emphasis on kicking as a primary weapon due to the strength, power, and reach of the legs, however the hand strikes, elbow and knee strikes are just as effective in Taekwondo. Also, a complete Taekwondo curriculum includes pressure points, joint manipulation, joint locks, grappling and close quarter fighting, and ground-fighting tactics.
Most systems of Karate are very similar to Taekwondo, but place an emphasis on hand strikes instead of kicks. Also, the methods of generating power in blocks and punches differs between Karate and Taekwondo, but both systems are very powerful, and potentially dangerous.
