Depends on your learning style.

Doug Allen teaches conceptually. He makes sure you understands the concepts, the big idea of econ, and be able to apply econ to anything, even Beyonce's song lyrics (Yes that was an actual exam question). If you are a conceptual learner, go for him.

Iryna on the other hand, her teaching style is more mechanical, "out of the book". There's usually more numbers involved. She also writes great lecture notes which are really helpful for exams. If you prefer a mechanical style of learning, go for her.

I personally took it with Iryna, but have lots of friends who took it with Doug Allen and we've had long discussions over who's "better" and this is what we concluded with. We even got to the extent where we would attend both lectures and compare the differences of the two profs. Lol.
