I've had much better battery life on KitKat. Up to 3 days with Stamina mode on. With Lollipop if I avoid using the phone too often battery lasts for 2 days max.

Somewhere, probably
Haven't used it a lot on Kitkat (I forced the update a few days after getting it), but I'm having great battery life on Lollipop (.28).
Two and a half days of moderate use (Data and/or Wifi always on, Autosync, no Stamina, GPS most of the time...) with almost 5 hours of SOT.

23.1.A.1.28 & 23.2.A.1.62
which one has a better battery life?
Dude, I'm sorry, but nobody will be able to answer a question like that simply because it depends on what you do with the phone.
Unless one of the fw doesn't have a known bug or unless you do the exact same things on both firmwares (same duration of calls, same amount of sms sent, same amount of music listened to, same amount of background data, same apps installed, etc) you will never know for sure...
