What is better USB or RS485?

For Reliability RS485 is better. Simply because it is more immune to interference from other sources. RS485 allows longer runs of cable and is compatible with proven and robust communication protocols such as MODBUS

Example of RS485 Waveform with Modbus protocol

The below image has been taken using an oscilloscope on RS485 data lines. the system was a RS485 Modbus data acquisition module.

Yellow is line A and Blue is line B the Oscilloscope also decoded the RS485 transitions into the Modbus message
