they are doing the same thing but the difference is with get_players_ex use named constants for flags instead of letters.

It does the same thing, so in that respect neither is better. _ex is easier to use as you do not need to dig up what each letter flag corresponds to each time you want to use it. It literally is the same besides the flags part.

PHP Code:
stock get_players_ex(players[MAX_PLAYERS] = {}, &num, GetPlayersFlags:flags = GetPlayers_None, const team[] = "")
{
    new strFlags[10];
    get_flags(_:flags, strFlags, charsmax(strFlags));
    get_players(players, num, strFlags, team);
}

} 
I was think ex is much faster like formatex/format

No. That is not a valid comparison. If you actually look at the code Bugsy posted, you'll see that the _ex function calls the original function so it can't be faster than the original function.
