Default Which is Better / More Functional / Accurate

I was wondering if I can get an opinion on which is better; SUMIF OR
SUMPRODUCT. I suspect the answer will be SuMPRODUCT, however there are so
many ways of using this function that I can't get a grasp of how to use it in
what situation. So IF the resounding answer is indeed SUMPRODUCT - Can
someone point me to a place/resource where I can finally fully learn and
understand that function? Please?

Here are two examples of the same exact result that got me to wonder about
this...

SUMIF:
=IF(SUMIF(Sheet3!$B$3:$B$803,Sheet1!$C19,Sheet3!$F $3:$F$803)0,SUMIF(Sheet3!$B$3:$B$803,Sheet1!$C19, Sheet3!$F$3:$F$803),"-")

SUMPRODUCT:
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet3!$B$3:$B$803=Sheet1!$C19),Sheet3!$F$3:$F$80 3)=0,"-",SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet3!$B$3:$B$803=Sheet1!$C19),Sheet3!$F$3:$F$80 3))


Thank You Very Much in Advance!
Rob
