Is indestructible better than hexproof?

Both of these are powerful effects, though have many ways to work around and remove the threat. Indestructible falls prey to exiling, tucking, etc; Hexproof is hit by 'destroy all' and other non-targeting spells.

Do indestructible planeswalkers lose counters?
Planeswalkers with indestructible will still have loyalty counters removed from them as they are dealt damage. If a planeswalker with indestructible has no loyalty counters, it will still be put into its owner's graveyard, as the rule that does this doesn't destroy the planeswalker.

Does hexproof remove pacifism?
Hexproof means they can't be targeted by anything an opponent controls. Pacifism (and other aura spells) all target a creature as part of casting them, so it won't work.

What if you give a planeswalker indestructible?
An indestructible planeswalker would survive a Planar Cleansing or Hero's Downfall or such effect that says destroy. However, whenever a planeswalker is dealt damage, that many loyalty counters are removed, indestructibility doesn't stop that from happening.

Can - 1 counters destroy indestructible creatures?
Can an Indestructible Creature be Killed by Counters? I've already used it as an example, but yes, you can use counters to kill indestructible creatures. -1/-1 counters are obviously the first choice if you're looking to just reduce their toughness, but you can get creative with it.
