It depends on your definition of 'better' :)  Having it outside of the
executable is better in the sense that you can just update a text file
to change the UI and not have to recompile the binary.  But having it
compiled into the executable is better in the sense that it will never
fail to find the UI definition because of a permission problem or disk
read error, or something like that.  So you just have to choose which
one you value more.
