Mahayana is a ton more based. Even using the term "Hinayana" actually implies that it's "the inferior vehicle". If you read the Guide to the Boddhisatva by Shantideva, he will give a pretty convincing reason as to why to adopt the Mahayana instead of the Hinayana. He claims that the former is an advancement on the latter and that it's not enough to just adopt the Hinayana. In order to free all human beings and become a Boddhisatava, one must wish for the liberation of all beings and adopt the Mahayana.

Also, there is a ton more literature and philosophy of Mahayana available to read than Hinayana so there's that too.
