Well technically the missed shot is better.
One gives you a higher probability of getting another possession by rebounding vs. causing a steal after your turnover.

Tell me the major difference
Well first, even though it is a missed shot it still had a chance to produce points. On most nights teams will shoot 40-50%. More turnovers leads to less shots. Less shots will almost always result in less points.
Second, your team can get offensive rebounds on a missed shot. Shooting percentages usually go up for second chance attempts since the D is usually scrambling. So 10 offensive boards a game is usually good for 10 points a game.
Third, it is much much easier to get back on defense after a missed shot than it is on a turnover.
A missed shot is not almost as bad as a turnover. It isn't even close. You can miss 40 shots and still win a game. Turn the ball over 40 times and you are getting your arse spanked. The fact that I even have to explain this to your is embarrassing.
