I am not an expert but my understanding is that one is not stronger than the other.  However, Piriton is more likely to make you feel drowsy.  Fexofenadine does not do this.  You only need to take one Fexofenadine for the whole day, which is useful.  Clarityn is another non-sedating antihistamine that you only need to take once a day.
