Both words are technically interchangeable, so your question cannot be answered as written.
Perhaps you meant which is bigger fission or fusion bomb?
Define bigger: size or yield?
The biggest bombs ever built in both size and yield have been fusion. But many modern fission bombs are bigger physically than fusion bombs with bigger yield and some fission bombs have bigger yield than some fusion bombs. Confused?
It all depends on purpose.
