**Running a full node is better for the network for several reasons, but in short, it helps the network and increases network decentralization.**
A pruned node is better than no node, but if you have the space, you should run a full node.
From the official docs
> Even though pruned nodes contribute to Monero's security and decentralization, they are still less comprehensive than full nodes. Users should still run full nodes whenever possible. However, pruned nodes are better than connecting to someone else's remote node. Pruned nodes therefore have the potential to run on devices that would otherwise be unable to handle the requirements, reducing the need to use remote nodes.
