My bank is ending the normal iTAN procedure (using paperlists with codes) soon, and demands customers to switch to either mobile TAN (mTAN) using a cellphone, or TAN generators (in Germany called "chipTAN comfort").

Which one is considered to be more safe, and/or "better"?

Plenty of opinions and material pro and contra are in the web, it is difficult to form an opinion without insider knowledge.
