Is Whonix or tails better?

Both Tails and Whonix route pretty much all their traffic through the Tor Network, but Whonix has better defense against a lot more attack vectors (see https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Comparison_with_Others), in that regard it might be better for you, if that is what you seek.

What is the difference between Whonix and Qubes?

Qubes OS creates a series of increasingly trusted virtual machines so that activities taking place in an untrusted virtual machine cannot affect applications in others. Whonix has a two-part system whereby you perform all your work in a virtual machine workstation.
