Well, the 'Pen' tool doesn't remove anything.
The 'Refine' tool doesn't exist.

I'd say, neither was better than the other.

The Pen Tool along with the Refine Edge/Mask function works very well for creating paths/selections that can then be used for removing backgrounds.

I saw some video at youtube. they remove background with the help of pen tools.

Any path created by the pen tool can be converted into a selection (which can then be deleted/saved). If your eyes and your mouse are sharp enough, this is a good way to go.

It very much depends on the image, and as i don't have the image I couldn't say what is best.

If you post the image I'll have a look and base my recommendation from that.
