As for me, it certainly seems like HandBrake is more ahaed in its development than MEncoder...
MEncoder's development is virtually dead and unless someone rewrites it and brings it into the 21st century, it has a poor future ahead which is really really sad. HB itself is (more of) a frontend than a encoder, eg it does not itself do the encoding but uses libavcodec and x264 for that, which do the real work so it cannot be "more advanced" than them as it depends on what they offer
