There are exceptions, but for most games, given a choice between SNES and GBA versions, the SNES one is better. Usually sound is severely compressed on the GBA and the visuals are washed out.
Some of the GBA remakes also added in voice tracks, like Mario saying "Just what I needed!" whenever you get a mushroom, or Link doing his grunts and "hii-yahs" whenever you swing the sword. I guess I could see how some people might think those were neat, but I mostly found them annoying, especially given the quality of the GBA audio.
