all units are in multiples of ten
There is only one metric system. Centimetre.
The metric system is easier to learn and use, while the imperial system uses somewhat arbitrary numbers, such as 32 degrees for the freezing point of water. Which one you consider better all comes down to personal preference. It should be noted, however, that the United States is now the only country in the world still using the imperial measurement system.
The whole point of the metric system is that it is a universal system, so that one metre in one country is the same as one metre in every other country. The metric system is the same everywhere.
There isn't a separate US metric system, the metric system is international and the same everywhere. So one kilometre in the U.S.A. is one kilometre.

The SI is convenient to use for several reasons; one of the most important reasons is that it is THE international standard for scientific work. In specific areas, other systems of units are sometimes considered more convenient; for example, in particle physics, a system of "natural units" is often used.
