Superior? I'm not sure. I haven't read both translations, but I have read Randall's version - in the last Russian Lit course I took it was the required translation - and I can say I didn't have any problems with it. Compared with the positively ancient translation I'd checked out of the library the language was much less stilted and flowed better.
My google searching hasn't come up with anything else translated by Glinka, whereas Randall is reasonably well-known and well-liked, so make of that what you will.
