Spoilers- which route leads to the best/ proper ending between battling taka (Reishram route) or not batteling taka (zekrom route

[Kinger16]

I am trying to go for a perfect play through over born and I want to get the best ending possible do I battle taka or not? When it comes to that time?

There is no good or bad ending, just slight story differences depending on what choice you make but nothing too major.

 

Spoilers regarding the two branches and postgame (read at your own risk):

Spoiler

If you choose to fight him (Zekrom route), Taka gets to stay alive, but will lose an eye at some point in the story. Also, you won't get any help in a certain puzzle in postgame and his team won't be good in any double battles you do with him. If you choose not to fight him (Reshiram route), he will be killed by Lin during the main story, but will be revived at some point later in postgame. He will provide assistance during that postgame puzzle I mentioned before, and his team will be way better and actually useful in double battles.

Like Cobra mentioned in the spoiler, you have them mixed up: Zekrom route is triggered by battling him, Reshiram by choosing not to.

 

I have yet to try out the Zekrom path in E19, but in previous ones you used to get a bit more lore about him, his family and Team Meteor in Reshiram's by talking to him in the desert if you let him come with you. He also gives additional lore about the places you visit with him in that section. Reshiram's route is also one of the many requirements for achieving the "secret" ending (which isn't inherently meant to be better or worse than the default one, it's just different).

 

Also, while Reshiram route allowed you to just skip that battle in the past, now if you decline you will still have to fight someone else.

Both endings/routes are very satisfying and heartwarming. 

Here's a detailed list of most path differences:

That postgame thing in Reshiram only happens if you beat Solaris' Garchomp on Pyrous.
