Don't spend too much time thinking about one being better than the other-
look at the specifications- the J or K specifies the silicon process
technology (transistor size is a big thing, but there is a whole lot more
to it). With the very earliest parts the distinction was more clear, but
gets muddy as time goes on. J's were Microchip's the first 3V native
parts, and it was more about bigger memory, but didn't have great low
power numbers. K's have much better low power operations, but not as much
memory.
