Question Garret vs PT-6?

I was recently on a chartered EMB 110 for many days in West Africa. There was a Flight Mechanic that rode onboard the aircraft. He made a statment that I wanted to follow-up on here. That statement was, "the PT-6 was a much better and more reliable engine than the Garret to operate in the hot and humid enviroment of West Africa. Is that a fair statement? Many thanks in advance!
