Brief Answer:
Dronedarone is better

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Dronedarone and Amiodarone are of the same class. Dronedarone is newer drug with better results and also used an alternative where amiodarone fails to respond well.

I recommend you to continue Dronedarone if you are good with that.

Wish you good health.
