Its kind of an odd question. Its like comparing a pixel-based Bitmap image to a vector-based metafile image. They achieve different ends.
A MIDI file is effectively a complicated form of music script, where as a MP3 is sampled digital audio. One contains instructions of how to play the tune (MIDI) and the other is the actual performance (MP3).

What would you need an mp3 of a MIDI for?
Just curious...
You could record the MIDI in Cool Edit Pro, Soundforge, WavLab (etc etc) by playing it through your soundcard - or play from MIDI keyboard recording to your computer -
Save as a WAV then convert to mp3 with favorite mp3 encoder (Lame, etc...)[.home] [.faq] [.search] [.active] [.chat] [.hitrax]

I think midi's are more professional to perform with than mp3's.

strange question ---> mp3 or midi?

i think mp3's are way better because u can actually here the person sing and stuff but wit a midi all your here is the melody of the song which is good because u can relax with the music
but i'd still pick mp3 over midi

From an onstage point of view, midi is the best option, you can also assign a track to a midi vocal effects unit to turn on or off the effects, a track for midi guitar so you don't need to dance on pedals. However, I find a midifile converted to an mp3 is clearer sound wise on stage, whether it be the way it is converted, I don't know. Also, you can add backing vocals to an mp3

But then again with midi you can hook up to a vocal harmonizer

Karaoke use mp3 mostly but to use it for a band is improbable.
You can't add a click track.
You can't change volumes on individual tracks to allow for difference in acoustics at different venues.
You can't bin the guitar a play it yourself.
You can't take the ending of one song and paste it onto the ending of another to get rid of a fade out track.
The list could go on and on.Later, Ronny.
Go Coleraine.
Go Man Utd.
Go Dolphins!

Midi is good if you have a good pc set up. I prefer Mid because i have a recording studio facility. i advise Mpeg for beginners

Sure that midi & mp3 are not the same!
there's no need to choose because not equal.
