Let's say i play omaha hi-lo and hold'em. What game i should have the better winrate if i play both games reasonable well?? I talk about fairly good opposition. Both games are 15-30.

fairly good players in a 15-30 O8 game is something of an oxymoron. and fairly good in hold'em usually means a higher level of skill then fairly good in O8. so this question is difficult to answer. also if by winrate you mean number of hands won, O8 will be more do to the high low format. but if you mean BB per hour it will depend almost entirely on if you have a higher skill level then your opposition and the difference between your skill will determine how much you can win.

on a side note, I belive that you can win theoretically more in O8 against terrible players then in hold'em as the high low gets people chasing hands that are not the nuts and putting a lot of money in incorrectly. and while this happens in hold'em, the error is not as large as in O8 and there are only half as many reasons to chase.
