Which is "better" and more "cost effective" can depend on what region you live in. For us in Florida, FTC has 8 qualifiers and a state championship. It would not be cost effective to travel out of state for most teams in this category. I can also vouch that at least Florida FTC competitions carry the excitement comparable to FRC, and are quite "well run."
There were 13 VEX Robotics Competition events in Florida last year, and the VRC World Championship was in Orlando.
