Both Lightening and USB-C have similar failure mode where a tab can break. It’s not common but trouble when it does. Neither one is clearly more durable than the other though both are definitely more durable than Micro-USB.

With lightning, the paddle is on the cable and can easily be replaced. With USB-C the paddle is on the device and is difficult if not impossible to replace.
