The answer

Performing supererogatory (nafila) prayers at home is better than performing them in the mosque, whereas going to the mosque to recite the Quran and remember Allah Almighty is better than doing so at home. This is due to the established encouragement for sitting in the mosque and waiting for prayer therein, and because of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "No Muslim man makes the mosques his home for prayer and remembrance except that Allah rejoices over him just as the people of a missing person rejoice over their missing person when he returns to them."
