Powerline is in my experience vastly worse than WiFi in nearly all cases. It's slow, suffers from bad jitter/interference (often worse than WiFi) and the chips run so hot (especially the last gen ones, AV2000 iirc - I believe they don't sell them any more because they overheat and fail, or at least 2/2 of the ones I had did this).

Even with many walls I was getting 300-400mbit/sec on WiFi vs 100mbit/sec on powerline.
