Getting a little personal there, but no Lisanna isn't better than Lucy, since she was brought back, and did nothing, literally Lisanna did nothing, she's just there, the whole Strauss siblings is nice and whatnot, but she's still a useless character.
To each his own, I bet there is an equal amount of Nalu as Nali shippers out there.
Preferences probably mostly boils down to character designs.
I actually despise the whole trolling the Anime provides for the pairings just to get the fans to rage or fangasm when they get thrown a bone, which Hiro never did much of. Lissana is a severly underdeveloped character for what she was promised and I think it´s a failed attempt of Hiro trying to copy Kishimoto´s pairing trolling with Hinata and Sakura which is unrivaled imo.
Also the Anime did it way worse than the manga which caused the whole outrage at the end.In General Anime staff tends to overtease the pairings alhough the source material just mildy hints at it. Even in One Piece which has literally 0 pairing material besides Ussop maybe, they invent lines to hint towards the pairings Oda has neglected officially in an interview.
As of currently Lissana serves no purpose besides being a fanservice character whomay become a possible love interest in the future, but for some people Lucy is just an annoying character. Pre timeskip (Tenru Island) Lucy was horrible imo, post timeskip is ok.She had alot of character development way more than Natsu, which although her fights are eiher boring or annoying gives her some soul. Lissana has shown nothing even for a side character she´s underused.
But some people just like her for being the underdog in the love triangle. That´s her whole purpose currenly that and being a fanservice character. The relationshio between the siblings is nothing to write home about, it´s fanservice territory since it´s just another layer of closer family in the already big family of Fairy Tail.
Yeah the animators made some NaLi scenes, in the old anime, but in the manga Natsu has a closer relationship with Lucy, if there's going to be a love between the two (Natsu and Lucy), I don't know.
No Mashima didn't try to imitate to whole love triangle stuff, if he did he would've made Lisanna more relevant, which he didn't, Natsu himself goes on more missions with Happy and Lucy than her, if Mashima wanted to make some love drama, he would've do it. Not sure, but read somewhere, that Lisanna was brought back just because the editor liked her, that's pretty much it.
Again with Lucy, maybe you personally don't like her (assuming ofc), and that's fine, but she's very "realistic", she's not as strong as Erza, but she still tries her best in her fights, even she admits it several times when they go on missions and stuff (example Oracion Seis, Grande Magic Games), that Juvia or Gajeel would be a better choice than her, she knows she's not strong, but she still tries her best.
