I've only had Echo with Dopplers which when I challenged my Consultant about was "best". He felt ECHO was better than MUGA , Cynic in me says he would say that as he was doing ECHO however he qualified the response by saying echo allowed other things to be looked at - size of heart wall for example which could be useful measurements to have in some clinical circumstances. LIke other responses I'm happy to avoid the 3 monthly doses of radiation the MUGA would entail.
