I think both are good;

Here is the link to the lens flare table.

The Takumars--especially the SMC versions--came in significantly better than
the competition (this is from the 1970s, when Takumar was probably the only
multicoated lens line available.) The figures are probably much less better
for Pentax lenses of today (vs. the competition) but if one is looking at
lenses from the early 70s, the margin of superiority is compelling in favor
of Pentax.
