The more options a class gives you, the more likely you'll be able to make decisions that lead to you putting in a better than baseline performance. In that sense, sure, the Battlemaster is a little better than the Champion. In the same sense (specifically), casters are so much better than both the Champion and Battlemaster that said difference between those 2 fighter archetypes is moot. If you want to play a simple character, make few decisions, and make an adequate base-line contribution while other characters make decisions that affect the outcome of each encounter and the ultimate success of the campaign, play the Champion. If you want to make interesting, meaningful, decisions, play a caster (preferably a 'full' caster) of whatever sort appeals to you.
This really hasn't been my experience with 5e so far... but whatever.
EDIT: I also find it interesting that on these forums we have some posters claiming that the casters have been nerfed too far with concentration limitations... while others are claiming they are akin to gods in the game... which one is it?
