Well, I don't know if "worse" is the right word, since you're dead both ways, but at least crashing into something in realspace will generally leave pieces behind, so I'd say crashing in hyperspace is worse.

In hyperspace, when an object loses energy, it *gains* speed. So two objects colliding will, instead of decelerating, accelerate, and continue to collide, until the ship in question is a mess of tachyons spread out over a few billion light years.
