Let X be any experience. No can say for sure which is worse, never experiencing X or never experiencing X again, for being part of one group precludes you from being part of the other group.
I can easily come up with arguments why never experiencing X could be worse than never experiencing it again. E.g., if you get to experience something enjoyable never to be enjoyed again, you could very well end up looking back on it fondly. I know this is the case for me when it comes to plot twists in anime etc.
All in all, I think it's safe to say that speculating which is worse is ultimately moot.
