Are cotton or microfiber washcloths better?

It depends on use. Across the verified-purchase signals we read, 100% cotton washcloths (like the Utopia, American Soft Linen, and Chakir sets) are favored for body and face washing and tend to hold up to hot washes, while microfiber and coral-velvet options (the Orighty and MOONQUEEN sets) draw praise for fast drying and makeup removal. Microfiber is also better at lint-free cleaning but some reviewers find it too 'grabby' on bare skin.
