Recent Super Sentai always relay on Monster Villains while Recent Kamen Rider have Human Villains but is Human Villains more interesting and more threatening than Monster Villains?

I'm assuming you mean human actor vs. monster suit. I think having an actual person as the villain is far more effective because they have a greater ability to act and emote than a guy in a rubber suit with a static face. It's easier to identify with another person, which in turn makes the villains easier to understand or emphasize with. It also makes it much more effective when a normal-looking person does something truly horrifying.

I generally think most of Kamen Rider's most memorable villains tend to be human or at least have a human form: Doctor Shinigami, Apollo Geist, Shiro Kanzaki, Dr. Maki, Heart, etc.
