The mean is the better for center when the dats is symmetrically distributed like a normal distribution. The mean would be the best one to use in the following set of data. 1  2 3 5  6 7  8  

However if the data is not symmetrically  distributed  ( there are one or more 'outliers; ) then the median is the better choice 
For example    1 2 3 4 7 8 11  39
