I've heard the combini's are typically cheaper and better than vending machines although.

Yes, it is correct. Vending machines are generally 20% more expensive than conbini. A bottle of water is 98¥ to 120¥ at conbini while 120¥ to 140¥ in vending machines.

No, it usually around the same price. There are also many 100yen vending machine that are way cheaper than conbini.
