It depends on what you mean by "outperform." Raw damage? Maybe, but it'll depend somewhat on the gear you find. Utility? Again, depends on what feats you choose. Control? Fighter, if you take the PAM/Sentinel combo (easy enough with the extra ASIs).
Both characters will be close enough in most things that I would recommend choosing whichever one you think would be more fun and engaging for you. Lv 1 to 20 is typically a long time, and combat will only be part of that (I assume).
I would also ask your DM about whether they'd have any table rules about the Berzerker fatigue thing. If they'd rule it RAW, I'd recommend a Totem barbarian instead. Bear totem at Lv 3 makes you feel like an absolute beast, IMO.
FYI Berserker is one of the republished classes in the 2024 rules, new version does not have exhaustion when you end your rage anymore.
It's in the free rules so anyone can read it here:

Ah that makes sense. I forgot about the reworked stuff.
