Look down this board and you will see extensive discussions of this trade-off. The answer is that it depends on how you are going to use the bag. Down is superior for many applications, synthetics (which vary a lot from one another) for many other applications. Lots of trade-offs between the two. You need to specify what your uses will be - summer dry season backpacking, wet winter, rainy areas, cold dry winter, river running, cost considerations, in a tent or not, etc etc etc.
