As 3DMaker4U suggests, it all depends, especially based on the mechanical properties you need. That being said...
In my experience typically PLA is capable of capturing finer details. It also prints with a more glossy finish, whereas ABS prints with more of a matte finish that can sort of blur fine details out a bit. The glossiness of PLA can also bring out more subtle flaws and artifacts though, like 'ringing' from acceleration.

If quality means how they look, I would say both. It is rather a matter of knowing how to get "the best" out of your printer. Obviously, the printer should be equipped to support the material (particularly bed adhesion and temperatures might be of concern).
If quality refers to mechanical characteristics, I would say both, but depends on the application
