What is better Run defense ability - reinforcement or run stopper?

Just looking at how it impacts run defense...will have Mid Zone, so not to concerned about how these abilities impact pass game

Reinforcement helps combat vanguard, and give you tacker's a fighting chance against it. I would prioritize reinforcement over runstopper based on the fact alone.

Reinforcement on LBs and DBs, Run Stopper on down linemen.  I believe Run Stopper is merely Inside Stuff + No Outsiders mashed together in a single ability.  Not particularly special, but it's nice, for free, if it's a passive X-factor ability and not consuming one of your three.

Broadly speaking, i'm trying to get as many Reinforcement players on the field as possible lately.  I took Mark Bavaro from the freebie GT pack for that very reason.  I hear many folks are running Reinforcement on their outside corners, but i've been primarily using them in the Slot as Nickel corner.  Definitely prioritize Reinforcement if you can only choose one.

Run stopper was a huge pile of trash for me, Idk if i ever saw it work on klecko or watt

I think Reinfocement only works against WR/TEs

But it doesnt work against OLineman...they destroyed my user with reinforcement, I got NO sheds

The best run defense is RNG rolls in your favor. Nothing like Vanguard vs. Vanguard, but your blockers just run past everyone like they're the ones carrying the rock.

Sick of all the non-attempted blocks on my side. Dudes right in front of them, but they go completely ignored. Because terrible AI.

Both is the answer to your question.
