I would like to make a statement that neither can be considered superior compared to the other and your choice of whether to use floating or sinking pellets mainly depends on which type of fish species that you have. If you have bottom feeders like pleco and catfish, it would make perfect sense to give them sinking pellets while top and middle dwelling fish, it would be best if you provide them with floating pellets but those sinking pellets can also be considered as well. However, as I’ve said earlier, there are of course exceptions.
There are several reasons on why you shouldn’t use sinking type for your middle and top dweller community fish.

Peronally, it's better if you use a sinking type instead because goldfish being a greedy pet will usually dash and swim towards their food and during the commotion while grabbing the pellets, they will end up sucking air into their stomach as they gulp their meal.
