There's no general answer. Every remotes has its set of advantages and 
disadvantages. The Apple Remote usually has a long battery life, but 
has only six buttons, which some find too limiting (I personally can 
live with the six buttons just fine). In your case, it also requires 
an additional IR receiver.

The Wii Remote on the other hand is full of high-tech, but - 
essentially being a game controller, having to power IR camera, motion 
sensors, status LEDs, etc. and also using Bluetooth - has only a 
limited battery life of only a few hours of uninterrupted use (with 
all power saving/disconnect options Remote Buddy is offering 
disabled). A battery recharger and four rechargable AA batteries are 
therefore highly recommended. It also needs a (Wireless) Wii Sensor 
Bar for its IR camera based mouse mode to function.

The bottom line is that what can be seen as the best solution really 
depends on what use case you want to use it in.
