Depends on personal preference. In terms of eliminating jaggies/shimmering, TXAA is better than MFAA. However, some people do not like the way that TXAA blurs/softens the image (similar to what FXAA does but even more aggressive), resulting in loss of fine detail.

Also, it's good to keep in mind that MFAA is simply a "hacked" variant of MSAA. 2xMFAA is just 2xMSAA + a temporal filter, resulting in image quality approaching that of 4xMSAA with a performance cost a little higher than 2xMSAA. Likewise, 4xMFAA emulates 8xMSAA at a performance cost closer to 4xMSAA.

You may be able to maintain 30 fps at 8xmfaa, depending on your other graphics settings. My advice is to stick with 4xmfaa and enable FXAA in-game - you will likely get better image quality than with 8xmfaa and better framerates as well.
