I believe that ROIC is a better measure of value distribution. I believe that investors should evaluate not only management's operating skill, but also its judgment in capital allocation. ROIC reflects the extent to which management shares its ability to create value with investors.

ROCE might be a better measure of value creation. ROCE is a pre-tax measure of return on capital, so if the firm has debt, it is inappropriate to compare it directly to WACC.

i think ROIC is better because it gives an easy way to assessing how well company is running and generate cash flow relative to invested capital.

ROIC is clearly better as it is more precise than ROCE. Just take a look at the formulas / inputs and you'll see that. Just imagine the company works with lots of current liabilities for which they don't have to pay interest. This is great for the returns and thus should boost the ratio. It does not boost ROCE as non-interest bearing liabilities are not excluded in the denominator. There are some more explanations but I think I can already stop here as the case is clear.

ROCE is better known as ROA and is known as the 'acid test' one of the most important measures of a companies performance. Interest cost is controlable cost so ROIC or known as ROI is a secondary measure of corporate performance.
