I think No, plastic is not a better insulator even compared to rubber shoes...
Another Answer
Your question is a little like asking, "Is metal a better conductor than a electrolyte?". The reason for this is that there are lots of different types of plastic and various types of rubber. Without knowing exactly which sort of plastic, and what type of rubber, there is no way of knowing which is the better insulator.

No. If the outside of the rubber is wet, the extremely high voltage electricity can be conducted around the rubber.

Only certified and rated boots will offer any protection in such conditions. The metal body of the vehicle will protect you in case of a lightning strike. This phenomenon is called a faraday cage. The electricity will flow on the outside of a metal box, object or container.
