-More centralized than Bitcoin
You are kidding right ? It is well known that very few individuals in china make up 70%+ of the bitcoin hashrate and that will most likely increase to over 90% after the halving. Right now 90% of the bitcoin is traded in CNY, another hard proof https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/btc/analysis/USD
Every crypto out there is somewhat centralized, trying to perfectly decentralize something is impossible, especially mining since lower electricity= more miners/hashrate. Ethereum is far from being centralized, especially since chinese cannot farm it with the asics they build with 50$ and sell for 2000$+ like in the case of bitcoin, litecoin and many others.
P.S: 99.5% of LTC volume is permanently changing chinese hands, they're artificially trying to keep the prices up to atract more fools. Proof: 99.5% of LTC is traded in CNY currency https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/ltc/analysis/BTC , lol talk about centralization.

ETH vs btc  Huh

Well, Ethereum is an altcoin, and could be said to be based off the idea of bitcoin. While bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency around, and so far definitely the safest and most adopted cryptocurrency around.

I believe that bitcoin is better than eth though, simply because eth is a likely pump and dump scheme.

Bitcoin all the way, BTC is pretty old right now while ETH is just new on the market.

BTC has a hard limit, therefore arguably built to be a strong store of value - digital gold etc
Ethereum's monetary policy not yet set in stone, inflationary as things stand, tbd
BTC probably will be the better asset to save in long-term, without taking anything away from the utility that E brings

BTC is still king. There's already so much investment built around BTC that it has very much a life of its own. Any fall in price is immediately supported and bought by the people waiting in the sidelines to hold long term. LONG TERM. It has become an asset that people are willing to store like gold.

ETH vs etc  Huh
What your problem?you can't compare btc with eth, eth is including alt coin. BTC is a mother of the coin can give a value to alt coin.
Are you serious to compare the main cryptocurrency and alt coins?

You're not really asking a question, but I'll assume you're looking for the pros and cons of each cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin:
Pros:
-First cryptocurrency to really take off
-Strong community
-High value
-Lots of hashing power and thus relative security
-Lots of services and accepted in a lot of places

Cons:
-Slightly long transaction time
-Blocks might be small

Ethereum:
Pros:
-Favors coders
-New and relatively highly valued
-Strong Dev base

Cons:
-Favors coders
-Not widely accepted
-More centralized than Bitcoin

There's probably more but I don't know what they are for right now.
