Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

I have a case pending which is a felony. My lawyer wants me to plead guilty to a misdemeanor Class A and paid $5500 in restitution with deferred adjudication. I asked for a dismissal if I agree to the restitution. I believe I can beat this in front of a juror with the evidence I have but I take a chance of being found guilty. Which one is worse on my criminal record ?

An acquittal after jury trial is always preferable, and is also a crap shoot. There are many innocent people in jail and walking around with convictions.
