Which is better and why?

Would be good to hear from people who have experienced at least two different schools.

I haven't tried middle or high school yet, but I have taught them at hagwons. Other teachers seem to enjoy high school classes more. There is possibly more interest in learning the language even though the levels will vary greatly.

The trouble with middle school students is that they never pay attention and are always playing with cell phones (and eating at the hagwons LOL).

It's really a preference who you want to teach. You might get a few high schoolers who are great to talk to that you would never find at a middle school.

As far as public schools go, you often don't have a choice.

All of these offer equal forces that will reward your chi and embrass your humanity as a person. I recommend a dose of each. Work for 3 years, 1 level per year and you will have developed a great appreciation for the Korean Culture and its Marvelous People.
