what is better for life on earth? say a asteroid is going to hit us, is it better that we blast it to billions of small pieces or let it hit as on rock?

I heard somewhere that if you blast it into to millions of pieces it will cause more damage because the area affected will be larger and smaller pieces travel faster and will hit harder. If one big piece hit then less people would be affected and a possible safe zone could be made. Of course this depends on the size and speed of the astroid and the amount of warning we had before it hit. Hope this answers your question!
